A simple extraction method based on acetonitrile-K 2 HPO 4 aqueous two-phase system was developed for separation and enrichment of five triazines in milk samples. Acetonitrile was used for extraction of analytes from milk sample and precipitation of milk protein. Deproteinization and extraction were achieved in one single step. Analytes were extracted into the upper phase of the aqueous two-phase system. The parameters affecting the extraction efficiency, such as the volume of acetonitrile, the type and amount of salts, pH value of sample and extraction time were investigated. The limits of detection of atraton, desmetryn, atrazine, terbumeton and terbuthylazine were 2.1, 2.6, 2.3, 2.8 and 2.5 μg/L, respectively. When the present method was applied to the analysis of real milk samples, the recoveries of analytes ranged from 86.3 to 120.6% and relative standard deviations were lower than 7.9%.
