A liquid chromatographic method for determining residues of ionophores in bovine, porcine, and avian tissues is described. Tissues were extracted with iso-octane-ethyl acetate and the extracts purified on silica solid-phase extraction columns. Monensin, narasin and salinomycin were detected by UV absorbance following post-column derivatization with vanillin, and lasalocid was detected underivatized using fluorescence. In muscle, kidney and fat, all drugs were determined from a single sample extract. In liver, a separate extraction was done to determine lasalocid. The detection limit for lasalocid, narasin and salinomycin was 5 ppb; for monensin it was 2ppb. Average recoveries were: lasalocid—71.0%; monensin—94.3%; salinomycin—97.2%; narasin—94.1 %.
