In plants, the parent residue is extracted using an aqueous organic solvent mixture followed by liquid/liquid (L/L) partitioning and a column clean up. Quantitation is by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In livestock, the residues are extracted with methanol. The extract is treated with enzymes in order to release the conjugated glucuronic acid metabolite. The residues are then isolated by L/L partition followed by column chromatography. The hydroxylated metabolite is acetylated followed by a column clean-up. The parent and acetylated metabolite are quantitated by GC with electron capture detection (ECD).
