Sulfonamide dosage

Sulfonamides , or fish. Sulfonamide dosage is therefore essential to ensure food safety and compliance with European and international regulations.

Analytical methods for the determination of sulfonamides

The analysis of sulfonamides is based on sensitive and selective techniques:

• HPLC (high performance liquid chromatography) for the separation of molecules.
• LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry) for very low concentration detection and specific identification.

These methods meet the requirements of EC Regulation No. 37/2010 setting maximum residue limits (MRLs) for veterinary antibiotics in foodstuffs. They are comparable to the techniques used for the determination of streptomycins and the determination of antibiotics , which are also part of food safety controls.

Industrial and regulatory applications

The dosage of sulfonamides applies in several contexts:

• Human food: verification of residues in meat, dairy products, eggs, fish and processed products.
• Veterinary control: monitoring the use of antibiotics in livestock farming and prevention of contamination of the food chain.
• Environmental monitoring: detection of traces of antibiotics in wastewater, effluents or aquatic environments.

These analyses are essential to comply with European regulations and meet the requirements of quality audits, certifications and health inspections.

Matrices analyzed for sulfonamides

YesWeLab offers sulfonamide assays in a wide range of matrices: meat and offal, eggs, milk and dairy products, fish and seafood, processed foods, water, and environmental samples. Each matrix is ​​prepared according to appropriate protocols to ensure reliable, reproducible, and standard-compliant results.

Security and compliance issues

The presence of sulfonamide residues in food raises several major issues:

• Protection of public health by avoiding exposure to potentially harmful residues.
• Preventing the development of antibiotic resistance, a global health issue.
• Compliance with the maximum residue limits set by EC Regulation No. 37/2010.
• Promoting food industries by highlighting strict quality controls and products that meet consumer expectations.

These issues are similar to those of other critical analyses such as pesticide dosage or heavy metal dosage , which also contribute to controlling food safety.
