This International Standard specifies a liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the chloramphenicol content of the muscle tissue of meat, including poultry.
The method is suitable for the determination of chloramphenicol contents greater than 6,5 μg/kg.
Test samples which have deteriorated cannot be analysed with this method.
NOTE This International Standard may be applicable for the determination of the chloramphenicol content of all kinds of meat and meat products. However, materials other than muscle tissue were not included in the collaborative testing of the method.
