A liquid chromatographic method with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS-MS) detection and identification is described for the determination of chloramphenicol (CAP) in shrimp tissue. Homogenized shrimp samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate. d5-Chloramphenicol (5D-CAP) was used as the internal standard. Data acquisition was in negative-ion multiple reaction monitoring (NMRM) mode using three transition reactions for CAP (m/z 321 → 152, m/z 321 → 257 and m/z 321 → 194) and two for d5-chloramphenicol (m/z 326 → 262 and m/z 326 → 157). Method validation was carried out according to European Commission decision 2002/657/EC. The calibration curve was linear in the range 0.10-2.00 µg l-1, with typical r2 > 0.99. The decision limit (CCα) and detection capability (CCβ) were 0.06 and 0.10 µg kg-1, respectively. There was no influence of the matrix on the determination of chloramphenicol.
