1.0 PRINCIPLE

Clenbuterol, Salbutamol, Terbutaline and Ractopamine are synthetic derivatives of the naturally occurring catecholamines. It has been known that CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC suitable for use as performance improvers within the field of livestock production; in particular, the meat/fat ratio in fattened animals can be improved or the growth may be accelerated. However, such compounds have not been approved in the EU for use as fattening adjuvants. In addition to lipolytic and anabolic effects, CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC have relaxing effects on non-striated musculature. Thus they can be used as antiasthmatic and tocolytic agents. It is possible that CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC residues, after use in illegal practice, may lead to a risk for consumers. Therefore it exists a prohibition of CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC use in food production.

2.0 INTENDED USE

A simple and efficient extraction and purification procedure for CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC were developed by means of the immunoaffinity column (IAC-AGON) as a cleanup tool．CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC content in Feeds, urine and Animal Derived Food are cleaned up by IAC and determined by HPLC or LC-MS. It is a fast,simple, safe and highly accurate method for quantitatively measuring CLE/SAL/TERB/RAC.
