laboratory SPE extraction workflow analyzing antibiotic residues in milk samples

SPE Workflow for Antibiotic Residue Analysis in Milk Samples

1. Common Antibiotics Monitored in Dairy Testing Dairy product safety requires rigorous monitoring of antibiotic residues, with beta-lactams and tetracyclines being the most frequently analyzed classes. Beta-lactams, including penicillins (amoxicillin, ampicillin) and cephalosporins, are widely used in veterinary medicine for treating mastitis and other infections. Tetracyclines such as oxytetracycline, tetracycline, and chlortetracycline are broad-spectrum antibiotics
