An effective and specific procedure for confirmation of neomycin, aminoglycoside antibiotic in honey was developed and validated. Honey was adjusted to pH 2 with 0.1M HCl and applied to weak cation-exchange SPE cartridge. Neomycin was eluted with basified methanol. Following separation by ion-pairing liquid chromatography, neomycin was analysed with positive electrospray ionization and MRM mode. Quantification was linear over the range of 5.0~250.0 ㎍/㎏ (r2>0.9951). The precision (R.S.D.) and accuracy (as a bias) of quality control samples in honey ranged 11.5~18.7% and 10.9~20.9%, respectively. Established method can be applied to analysis of neomycin in honey
