An efficient extraction method was developed for the analysis of 16 perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in fish samples. We compared the recoveries from the Ion-Pairing Extraction (IPE), Liquid-Liquid Extraction (LLE), Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE), IPE + SPE method with varying the injection time of the internal standard. As a result, IPE method with the internal standard before extraction was evaluated as the most effective pretreatment method. The RPM (Revolution Per Munite) and pH in IPE-before method were additionally adjusted and the more efficient pretreatment method was established. The total 33 fish samples including liver and gut samples were collected from Korean markets and analyzed PFCs with developed pretreatment method of this study. Total 16 PFC levels in fish samples ranged from ND to 1.67 ng/g with 100% detection frequency. The average PFCs concentrations of muscle, liver and gut samples from fish were compared and showed the following trend: liver (17.8 ng/g) > gut (13.3 ng/g) > muscle (1.67 ng/g). The PFC levels in fish samples were similar or lower than other available previous results of foreign studies.

An effective and specific procedure for confirmation of neomycin, aminoglycoside antibiotic in honey was developed and validated. Honey was adjusted to pH 2 with 0.1M HCl and applied to weak cation-exchange SPE cartridge. Neomycin was eluted with basified methanol. Following separation by ion-pairing liquid chromatography, neomycin was analysed with positive electrospray ionization and MRM mode. Quantification was linear over the range of $5.0{\sim}250.0{\mu}g/kg$ ($r^2$ >0.9951). The precision (R.S.D.) and accuracy (as a bias) of quality control samples in honey ranged 11.5~18.7% and 10.9~20.9%, respectively. Established method can be applied to analysis of neomycin in honey.
