AOAC Official Method 971.47 was optimized for use with solid-phase extraction (SPE) using the same activated carbon referenced in the original method. The optimization of AOAC 971.47 begins after the roxarsone is extracted into the 2% K2HPO4 solution of the original method; instead of 30 mL, 9 mL is pipetted into a test tube. Next, to flocculate the protein, 300 microliters HCl is pipetted into the tube and mixed. After 15 min, the contents of the tube are filtered through a 0.45 micrometers nylon membrane filter equipped with a glass prefilter. Next, 7 mL clear filtrate is pipetted into a new test tube, followed by the addition of 234 microliters NaOH, and the contents of the tube are mixed. The filtrate is then passed through a 400 mg bed of activated carbon packed in a 3 mL SPE tube at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The spectrophotometric analysis of the eluate is not changed from the original AOAC 971.47. The optimized method was validated and semiautomated. Results of roxarsone determination by the optimized procedure were found to be acceptable at all levels of approved claims. For the commercial feed samples analyzed, recoveries by the automated method ranged from 93.7 to 104% of the results reported by an independent laboratory using AOAC 971.47.
