Besides typical antibiotics analysis, focused on the separation of antibiotics belonging to one or different classes, there are many examples of diverse TLC applications such as the following ... 

Typical SPE sorbents used for multi-class antibiotic analysis in food matrices include Oasis HLB (hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced) and Strata X. Oasis HLB cartridges have been preferred in many laboratories because of their good retention properties and highly reproducible recoveries of a wide range of compounds, whether polar or non-poiar (due to their combined hydrophobic-hydrophiclic retention mechanism). Strata X cartridges, which are similar in functionality to Oasis HLB cartridges, provide comparable results. 

It should be mentioned that there is another type of relatively new column that is made from the 2.7-pm fused-core silica particles, bonded with C18 alkyl chains, by fusing a 0.5-pm porous silica layer onto 1.7-pm non-porous silica cores. The selectivity of the fused-core particle columns is very similar to that of certain <2-pm C18 columns and has the advantage of a substantially lower back-pressure at much higher flow rates, which allows rapid separations to be performed even routinely on a conventional LC system without significant loss in efficiency or resolution. The fused-core columns are new to antibiotic analysis and may serve as good alternatives to <2-pm columns in the field. 

In addition to MRM, the other scan modes available on a QqQ have occasionally been used for residue analysis as well. A precursor ion scan can be used to identify precursor ions from a product ion, and therefore to identify analytes and metabolites or impurities, which generate the same product ion, in complex matrices. For example, erythromycin B was identified in yogurt using this function. In this application, Q3 was held constant to measure a fragment ion at m/z 158, which is a typical product ion of compounds or impurities related to erythromycin A with a desosamine residue. Q1 was then scanned over an appropriate range, from which a precursor ion at m/z 718 was detected. The latter was identified as erythromycin B, which was an impurity in the erythromycin fermentation product. Constant neutral loss scan, which has rare applications for antibiotic analysis, records spectra that show all the precursor ions that have fragmented by the loss of a specific neutral mass. In this instance, both Q1 and Q3 scan together with a constant mass offset between the two quadrupoles. Both precursor ion and constant neutral loss scans can be performed only with ion beam tandem in-space mass spectrometers. 

TLC is generally less sensitive and gives worse separation than HPLC. However, it predominates over HPLC in at least two aspects It allows for the analysis of many samples at the same time, and it requires limited sample pretreatment. These features are very important in the analysis of antibiotics, which usually concerns controlling their level in many complicated matrices such as blood, urine, dietary products, and pharmaceuticals. Thus, TLC can be a very useful screening method preceding HPLC analysis. Nevertheless, there are also many examples of analytical applications of TLC, which can achieve selectivity and sensitivity comparable with those characteristic of HPLC. The future of the analytical option in antibiotic analysis is connected with progress in detection and the development of FFPC methods.
