A sensitive method using LC/ESI‐MS n has been developed on a quadrupole linear ion trap mass analyser for the detection of nine β 2 agonists (cimaterol, clenbuterol, fenoterol, formoterol, mabuterol, terbutaline, ractopamine, salbutamol and salmeterol) in horse urine. The method consists of solid‐phase extraction on CSDAU cartridges before analysis by LC/ESI‐MS n . The efficiency of extraction combined with the sensitivity and the selectivity of MS n allowed the detection of these compounds at pg/mL levels. Administration studies of fenoterol and formoterol are reported and show their possible detection after inhalation. The method is applicable for screening and confirmatory analysis.
