Abstract: An ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of fipronil and its metabolites in whole egg powder, egg yolk powder and dairy products was developed. Samples were extracted with acetonitrile and saturated sodium chloride solution was added to separate the organic and aqueous phases. The supernatant after low-temperature precipitation of protein was applied onto an HLB solid-phase extraction cartridge for purification. The chromatographic separation was accomplished with an Acquity UPLC BEH C18 column (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) using gradient elution with a mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and water. The analytes were detected using a negative electrospray ion source under the multiple reaction monitoring mode and quantitated by the external standard method. The results demonstrated that the linear ranges were from 0.5 to 20.0 μg/L with good correlation coefficients (R2 > 0.990). The limit of detection and the limit of quantitation were 0.2 and 1.0 μg/kg for all analytes, respectively. The recoveries of fipronil and its metabolites in different matrixes at spiked concentration levels of 1, 2, 4 and 20 μg/kg varied from 63.4% to 118.7%, with relative standard deviations between 0.7% and 10.3%. The method proved to besensitive, accurate and suitable for the rapid quantification of fipronil, fipronil sulfide, fipronil sulfone and fipronil desulfinyl in protein-rich foods.
