Abstract A quantitative method has been developed for determination of nonmacrocyclic trichothecenes in cereals. The mycotoxins are extracted with acetonitrile- ethyl acetate-water, and the extracts are quickly defatted with hexane and purified on a Sep- Pak Florisil cartridge. The trichothecenes are then silylated with Tri-Sil/TBT and quantitated by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. High recoveries of 13 tested trichothecenes were achieved in experiments on wheat at the 250 μg/kg level. The method was also tested on barley, maize, oats, and rye with good results

Abstract Surrogate spiking the sample with 1000 parts per trillion (pptr) 1,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (1378-TCDD) has doubled analytical throughput in determining toxic 2378-TCDD (analyte) at the low partper- trillion level in fish, using multicolumn high resolution liquid chromatographic cleanup before quantitation by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. The 1378- and 2378-TCDD were recovered equally and were well separated by the capillary column so that the earlier-eluting surrogate did not interfere with the quantitation of levels of analyte many-fold lower. Matrix interference contributed <1 % bias in surrogate quantitation. Using surrogate recovery to correct for analyte losses during analysis, accuracy averaged (n = 7) 105% in determining 18 or 45 pptr 2378-TCDD added to fish without detectable bioincurred analyte. Analyses of selected fish with bioincurred 2378-TCDD gave results comparable to earlier work where recovery correction required a second analysis of sample fortified with analyte. With surrogate fortification, repeatability of determination (n = 3 or 4) improved markedly to <5% relative standard deviation at 37-46 pptr.

Abstract A simple, rapid, and accurate method is described for the determination of residual fluvalinate in beeswax. The procedure consists of partitioning on a disposable column of diatomaceous earth (Extrelut®), followed by chromatographic cleanup on a Florisil cartridge. The final extract is analyzed by capillary gas chromatography with electron-capture detection (GC–ECD). Briefly, wax samples were dissolved in n-hexane, and the solutions were sonicated and transferred to Extrelut columns. The fluvalinate was extracted with acetonitrile, and a portion of the extract was cleaned up on a Florisil cartridge. The fluvalinate was eluted with diethyl ether–n-hexane (1 + 1) and directly determined by GC–ECD. Recoveries from wax samples spiked at 5 fortification levels (100–1500 μg/kg) ranged from 77.4 to 87.3%, with coefficients of variation of 5.12–8.31%. The overall recovery of the method was 81.4 ± 3.2%, and the limit of determination was 100 μg/kg.
