| Summary: | A LC-ESI-MS/MS method was developed and validated according to the European Union decision 2002/657/EC, for the determination of tetracyclines (TCs) in chicken-muscle since Europe is one of the main markets for Brazilian products. Linearity of r > 0.9979, limits of quantification in the range of 7.0-35.0 ng/g, average recoveries of 89.38 - 106.27%, within-day and between-day precision were adequate for all TCs. The decision limit and the detection capability were 93.00-106.46 ng/g and 95.84-114.38 ng/g, respectively. This method is suitable for application in surveillance programmes of residues of TCs in chicken-muscle samples. |
