Determination of xylazine in blood components using high-performance liquid chromatography

Development of a monoclonal antibody for the detection of xylazine in milk and its use in an immunochromatographic strip

A gold nanoparticle-based lateral-flow test (GNT) strip was developed to detect xylazine (XYL) in milk. And the limit of detection (LOD) and cut-off value of the GNT assay were evaluated to be 20 and 200 ng mL⁻¹ in milk samples by the naked eye.

Simultaneous determination of ketamine and xylazine in canine plasma by liquid chromatography with ultraviolet absorbance detection

An isocratic reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of ketamine and xylazine in canine plasma is described. Plasma samples (500 microl) are cleaned up via liquid-liquid extraction. The analytes and the internal standard clonidine are separated on a cyano (CN) column using a mobile phase containing acetonitrile-0.005 M phosphate buffer adjusted to pH 5.5 (3:2) at a detection wavelength of 215 nm. The method was validated according to specificity, sensitivity, accuracy and reproducibility and was used to determine the plasma concentrations of both compounds in dogs after intramuscular injection.
