Agonists Hormones in Food

Veterinary drugs are used throughout meat, poultry, fish and dairy industry to improve production and efficiencies. Growth promoters and hormones are commonly used throughout the life of the animal, but these residues can be harmful to humans if consumed at significant levels or on a consistent basis. Drug residues are therefore highly regulated around the world, and the MaxSignal® together with chromatographic product lines from us can help government agencies and food companies screening for these contaminants to ensure regulatory compliance.

Determination of Thirteen Beta Agonists in Pork Using UHPLC - Tandem Mass Spectrometry

Beta-adrenergic receptor agonists (ß- agonists) are synthetic drugs utilized in the treatment of conditions such as asthma in humans, and are also used as a growth-promoting agent in food-producing animals. The use of ß- agonists in food-producing livestock has been either banned or regulated across many countries owing to human health concerns. To aid in the monitoring and detection of ß- agonists in livestock, a highly sensitive and selective analytical method has been developed, and is presented in this study. This LC/MS/MS method details the analysis of 13 ß- agonists in pork samples, and utilizes isotopically-labeled internal standards to compensate for matrix effects present in complex food matrices.
