Introduction
The ß
ß-lactam
lactam antibiotic groups penicillins and cephalosporins are prevalently used in the therapy of infectious diseases of animals. Maximum residue
limits (MRL) in different food matrices were established by European Regulation 470/2009/EC [1] and subsequent modifications to ensure human food
safety.
y With regard
g
to this aim,, methods for the determination of antibiotics should be developed
p in the range
g of the MRL. The p
presented method is able
to quantify and confirm penicillins and cephalosporins in cow milk between 0.5
0 5 and 2.5
2 5 x MRL.
MRL Applying a factor-comprehensive
factor comprehensive in-house
in house validation
concept,
p , merelyy eight
g runs on different concentration levels need to be analysed
y
in order to g
gain extensive knowledge
g about the reliability,
y, robustness
and performance of the method [2].
[2] The validation was carried out in accordance with Commission Decision 2002/657/EC [3].
[3] The relevant validation
parameters like the critical concentrations ((CCα
p
(CC and CCβ),
CCβ)
β), the repeatability,
p
y, the within-laboratoryy reproducibility
p
y and the recoveryy were calculated.
