A method is described for detecting and quantitating lincomycin residue in salmon muscle and skin tissues by ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography (LC) with electrochemical detection at +0.9 V. Lincomycin was extracted from tissues by homogenizing with 0.01M KH{sub 2}PO{sub 4} buffer (pH 4.5) and centrifuging the mixture. Water-soluble proteins were precipitated by adding sodium tungstate and sulfuric acid and removed by centrifugation. The buffer extract was then passed through a C{sub 18} solid-phase extraction cartridge. Lincomycin was eluted with 50% acetonitrile in water, and the eluate containing lincomycin was extracted with ethyl acetate. After the solvent had evaporated, the residue was redissolved in mobile phase and analyzed by LC. The method had a limit of detection of 7 ng/g lincomycin for salmon muscle and 24 ng/g for salmon skin. Average recoveries of lincomycin spiked at 50, 100, and 200 ng/g were {ge}85% for salmon muscle and {le}80% for salmon skin. 12 refs., 3 figs., 4 tabs.
