Determination of Sulfonamide Incurred Residues in Catfish and Shrimp for Selection of FDA Method Trial Study Materials

Objective

CVM/USDA/NCTR have identified six sulfonamides of toxicological significance to be included in an incurred-residue FDA method trial. Methods of analysis have been developed and validated;all included sulfas in catfish and shrimp.

More information

FY 2000 Accomplishments: The incurred-residue methods trial studies for shrimp/catfish remain unfinished. The study, comprised of four sulfonamides, each at two levels, in each species is 2/3 complete. The incurred-residue level for the target ranges for shrimp and catfish thatwere prepared by the University of Arizona and Stuttgart (AR) National Aquaculture Research Center (SNARC) did not meet the specified ranges of the trial delaying completion; consequently, they will be prepared again. The assay-developing laboratory, NCTR, validates the certification of ranges for the inter-laboratory trial.
<p>
FY 2001 Plans: 1) The certification of ranges for the inter-laboratory trial will be completed as required. 2) The final report for the methods trial will be prepared provided the collaborative studies are completed this year.</p>
