Screening methods are used to detect the presence of a substance or class of substances at the level of interest and are specifically designed to avoid false compliant results. They should allow the running of a high number of samples per day at a low cost under routine conditions. In this work a rapid, and simple method for the screening of six sulfonamides (sulfadiazine, SD; sulfamerazine, SMR; sulfamethazine, SMT; sulfachloropyridazine, SCP: sulfathiazole, STZ and sulfamethoxazole, SMO) in milk samples is proposed and assessed according to the criteria required by the European Regulation, Decision 2002/657/EC. The method is based on modelling front-face fluorescence emission spectra by means of partial least squares class modelling (PLS-CM). The milk samples are pre-treated with a single easy step of derivatization with fluorescamine.
After confirming that the method has equal analytical sensitivity for all the six sulfonamides, it is established that the multivariate analytical sensitivity at 100 mu g L(-1) is 37.5 mu g L(-1) when analysing a mixture of six sulfonamides added to different brands of milk and measured in different days. In addition, the method is applied to samples from 11 commercial brands of milk. For beta=0.05, threshold value established by the Decision 2002/657/EC for this method, the probability of false non-compliance, alpha, is equal to 0.17, allowing the suitable screening of these six sulfonamides.
