INTRODUCTION Sedatives are widely used in food producing animals for the prevention of stress caused during animal transportation from the farm to the slaughterhouse. According to the Council's Regulation 37/2010 the use of chlorpromazine has been banned and maximum residue levels (MRLs) have been established for carazolol, azaperone and azaperol for kidney and other matrices. A rapid extraction procedure was developed allowing the determination of nine sedatives (acepromazine, propionylpromazine, chlorpromazine, carazolol, azaperone, azaperol, haloperidol, xylazine and atenolol) in kidney tissue. While triple quadrupole MS remains the workhorse for the analysis of veterinary medicines, LC coupled with high-resolution MS (LC-HRMS) is making headway in this field. Despite the multiple advantages of LCHRMS such as reduction of matrix effects, number of molecules in one run, confidence in identifications and post-acquisition data mining, this instrumentation has not been broadly adopted in routine laboratories. The methods were validated in accordance with the Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The relevant validation parameters for both analytical tools (LC-HRMS and LC-MS/MS)such as precision, accuracy, linearity, specificity, decision limits (CCα) and detection capabilities (CCβ), were investigated. The suitability of LC-HRMS method for quantitative and confirmatory purposes was evaluated for each substance on the basis of the 2002/657/EC.
