Polyether Antibiotics
Monensin, Narasin, & Salinomycin

Polyether antibiotics, such as
Monensin, Narasin, and Salinomycin, in raw
material, premix, liquid supplements, and final
feeds, are best quantified using a
high-performance liquid chromatograph equipped
with a post-column reactor. The polyether
antibiotics react, post-column, with Vanillin in
the presence of Sulfuric acid, and the resulting
products can be detected at 520 nm. However, this
corrosive reagent can adversely degrade most
instruments. Pickering’s special Post- Column
Systems, comprised of non-metallic parts and
washing pump head, offers resistance to sulfuric
acid. Special operating instructions will also be
included with this instrument. Contact Pickering
Laboratories for more information about the Inert
Vector PCX Post-Column System for polyether
antibiotics.
