The invention provides a method for detecting
ceftiofur in
plasma. The method for detecting the
ceftiofur in the
blood plasma comprises the following steps: extracting a
ceftiofur metabolite, namely furanformyl ceftiofur (DFC), from a
drug-containing
blood plasma sample by virtue of an extracting solution-dithioerythritol (DTE) solution in a water bath, without
derivatization of an iodoacetamide solution and
solid-phase extraction column treatment, centrifuging the extracting solution to obtain a supernatant, and purifying the supernatant by virtue of a
chromatographic column, so as to obtain the ceftiofur in the
blood plasma. And filtering by using a filter membrane, and directly detecting by using a high performance liquid chromatograph. The method has the advantages that the sample pretreatment steps are simplified, the cost is reduced, the time is saved, the
reagent usage amount is small, the
toxicity is low, and the method is suitable for
rapid detection of ceftiofur and metabolites thereof in a large batch of
plasma samples in
clinical pharmacokinetic tests.
