Matrix effect in liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry to detect sedatives in pig and cattle kidney tissue and urine. APN – azaperone; APL – azaperol; CAR – carazolol; ClPN – chlorpromazine; AcPN – acepromazine; HPL – haloperidol; PrPN – propionylpromazine; XyN – xylazine. Red lines – boundaries of suppressive (lower) or enhancing (upper) matrix effect
