Abstract:
Herein, we present a sensitive analytical method utilizing Materials Institute Lavoisier (MIL)-68(Al)-coated frosted glass rods (MIL-68(Al)@FGR) coupled with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography for detecting trace tetracycline (TC) antibiotics in food matrices. The synthesized coating was thoroughly characterized through field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analyses. Systematic optimization of critical parameters, including extraction time, sample pH, formic acid concentration, and desorption time achieved optimal extraction efficiency. The developed method exhibited a wide linear range (3-70 ng/mL) with low detection limits (0.1-0.3 ng/mL) for target analytes. Practical application to spiked food samples demonstrated satisfactory recoveries of 75.2%-115.1% across milk, chicken, and egg matrices, accompanied by precise relative standard deviations of ≤8.4%. The MIL-68(Al)@FGR-based approach shows exceptional resistance to matrix interference and detection sensitivity, establishing an effective strategy for monitoring TC residues in complex food samples.

In the visual method, metal-ion indicators (metallochromic dyes), which have distinct colors in their free and complex forms, are added to the mixture to signal the titration's end point. They form stable complexes with metal ions, but these complexes are weaker than the corresponding metal–EDTA complexes. As a...
