Abstract Moxidectin, a potent new endo- and ectoparasitic agent, is determined in cattle tissues by liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence detection. Moxidectin residues in cattle fat are confirmed with thermospray LC/mass spectrometry (MS). Moxidectin is extracted from the tissue with acetonitrile; the extract is partitioned with hexane, concentrated, and reacted with acetic anhydride, 1-methylimidazole, and dimethylformamide to produce a fluorescent product. The validated sensitivity of the LC/fluorescence method was 10 ppb, with a limit of detection typically between 1 and 2 ppb. Average recoveries from cattle fat, muscle, liver, and kidney were 99,95,89, and 92%, respectively. LC/MS confirmatory method determined the underivatized parent compound following the acetonitrilehexane partitioning step, with an average recovery of 108% at the 250 ppb level in cattle fat.

Abstract A procedure is described for determining Kepone (decachlorooctahydro-l,3,4-metheno-2H-cyclobuta [cd]pentalene-2-one) residues in avian egg, liver, and tissue. Samples were extracted with benzene-isopropanol, and the extract was cleaned up with fuming H2SO4-concentrated H2SO4. Kepone was separated from organochlorine pesticides and polychlorinated biphenyls on a Florisil column and analyzed by electron capture gas-liquid chromatography GLC). The average recovery from spiked tissues was 86%. The analyses performed on 14 bald eagle carcasses and livers, 3 bald eagle eggs, and 14 osprey eggs show measurable levels which indicate that Kepone accumulates in the tissues of fish-eating birds. Residues were confirmed by GLC-mass spectrometry.

Abstract A method has been developed for the determination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid in pickled vegetables after conversion to its tetramethyl ester. The ester is identified by gas-liquid chromatography and confirmed by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Recoveries from pickled beet samples spiked at 20-250 ppm were 87-74%.
