“…This versatile technique has been commonly used to analyze cephalosporin residues in biological samples such as milk [2,3], plasma [4], serum [1,2,5], cerebrospinal fluid [5], urine [1,5] and synovial fluid [4]. Some papers have been published the determination of cefoperazone [6] or ceftiofur [4,[7][8][9] in plasma by HPLC and two different plasma pretreatments were used: a simple deproteinization, (using organic solvent or acidic media) [6,7], and a derivatization step followed by SPE [4,8,9].…”
