LID - 10.3390/molecules26164975 [doi] LID - 4975 AB - A sensitive and reliable method was developed to determine methylene blue (MB) and its metabolite residues, including azure A (AZA), azure B (AZB), and azure C (AZC) in aquatic products by HPLC-MS/MS. The samples were extracted by acetonitrile and cleaned up by alumina-neutral (ALN) cartridges. The analytes were separated on a Sunfire C18 column (150 mm x 2.1 mm, 5 microm). The method was validated according to the European criteria of Commission Decision 2002/657/CE. Good linearity between 1-500 microg/L was obtained with correlation coefficients (R(2)) greater than 0.99. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was 1.0 microg/kg. The average recoveries at three levels of each compound (1, 5, and 10 microg/kg) were demonstrated to be in the range of 71.8-97.5%, with relative standard deviations (RSDs) from 1.05% to 8.63%. This method was suitable for the detection of methylene blue and its metabolite residues in aquatic products.
