Abstract A rapid, simple, and sensitive method for quantitation of ethchlorvynol by gas chromatography has been developed. Instrument response is linear to a concentration of 200 mg/liter (2.0-ml sample of serum). Day-to-day (20 days) precision of a 15 mg/liter serum pool was 0.85 mg/liter (SD) and 5.6% (CV). For 30 samples analyzed by both the gas chromatographic method and a colorimetric method, the correlation plot had a slope of 0.989, x and y intercepts near zero, and a correlation coefficient of 0.997. Mean recovery of ethchlorvynol added to serum was 87%. Subsequently, all standards were prepared in serum, to compensate for the nonquantitative yield and to help assure accuracy. Sera from healthy controls and from hospitalized patients contain no endogenous interfering substances, nor did any of a series of commonly prescribed drugs interfere.

Considering the growing number of requests from the criminal investigations authorities addressed to the institutions of legal medicine, testing of blood alcohol concentration both in the living person and in the corpse, we believe that a presentation of the two methods which are used in our country, is a topic of interest at present. The purpose of this article is to provide the reader with the technical details on how blodd alcohol concentration is realised by means of the gas chromatographic method and the classical one, (Cordebard modified by D. Banciu and I. Droc) respectively. Another purpose of this article is to also show, in a comparative way, the elements that make the gas chromatographic method superior to the former one.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantitative determination of N-butyl-N-ethyl-α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-p-tolindine and α,α,α-trifluoro-2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyI-p-toluidine herbicides in formulations. The sample is extracted with benzene, and equal amounts of sample and reference solution in the same concentration range are analyzed by gas chromatography, using an electron capture detector and an SE-30/Diatoport S column. The method has been applied successfully to laboratory-prepared and commercial samples.

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract Antioxidants (BHA and BHT) in different types of breakfast cereals were studied by argon ionization gas chromatography. Samples containing antioxidants were packed into the column, and antioxidants were eluted with redistilled petroleum ether. EIuates were concentrated under N2 and injected into a Barber-Colman Model 10 gas chromatograph. Recoveries ranged from about 92 to 110%. Results obtained by steam distillation-colorimetry methods were erratic. Colorimetric procedures were not free from interferences and could lead to highly erroneous results at the lower ppm levels. The gas chromatographic method is faster, simpler, and more accurate. Collaborative studies on corn and rice ready-to-eat breakfast cereals are recommended.

Gas Chromatographic Method

Abstract A gas chromatographic and a colorimetric method for determining menthol in cigarette tobacco filler were studied collaboratively by 15 laboratories. No statistically significant differences were found in the precisions within or between laboratories. There were no significant differences between mean values for the two methods for any of the samples. Trends toward higher mean values for the colorimetric method and lower within-laboratory standard deviations for the gas chromatographic method were noted. Remarks by collaborators suggest that the accuracy and precision of the colorimetric method may be improved, and further studies are recommended.

Abstract The determination of supplemental a-tocopheryl acetate in high potency vitamin E powders and oils was compared using the Emmerie- Engel method and gas chromatography (GC). The Emmerie-Engel reaction requires saponification, extraction of the saponiflable fracaon, and quantitation by colorimetry. GC analysis requires only an extraction and/or dilution before quantitation. These are represented essentially by AOAC methods 43.147-43.151 (colorimetry) and 43.152-43.159 (GC) for high potency vitamin E concentrates. Each method was statistically evaluated for precision and sample-to-sample reproducibility. Each Emmerie-Engel value was divided by the GC value obtained for the same sample; an average of 1.049 with a coefficient of variation of 2.89% was obtained. It was concluded that (he GC procedure was superior to the Emmerie-Engel method, and ahould be the official procedure for determination of supplemental a-tocopheryl acetate in feed concentrates.

Abstract A capillary column gas chromatographic method is described for determining parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels of chlorsulfuron in agricultural runoff water. The water sample is acidified with acetic acid and extracted with methylene chloride. The chlorsulfuron in the extract is derivatized to its monomethyl derivative. After Florisil column cleanup, the methylated chlorsulfuron is determined by electron-capture gas chromatography. Recovery of chlorsulfuron from fortified water samples is greater than 80%. Detection limit of the method is 25 ng chlorsulfuron/L water (25 ppt). There are 2 reaction sites on the chlorsulfuron molecule, both of which are susceptible to methylation leading to monomethyl chlorsulfuron and dimethyl chlorsulfuron. A procedure is described to methylate selectively the sulfonamide nitrogen of chlorsulfuron.

Abstract A confirmatory test for the presence of the growth-promoting hormone, diethylstilbestrol (DES), in beef liver is described. Samples are subjected to a published electron capture gas chromatographic method that involves the formation and measurement of the bis-dichloroacetyl derivative of DES. The presence of the derivative is then confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, using a repetitive scanning technique to maximize response. The isotope pattern of the tetrachlorinated molecular ion greatly facilitates the confirmation.

Abstract A rapid, simple, accurate, and precise isothermal gas-chromatographic method is introduced for determination of methaqualone (2-methyl-3-o-tolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinone) in serum. A single extraction of 2 ml of serum, without derivative formation, will give adequate sensitivity for quantitation of therapeutic serum concentrations of the drug within 15 min. The method is free of interferences from biological substances, as well as from commonly used drugs. A non-drug internal standard compensates for variables in extraction, injection, and instrumental changes during analysis. The coefficient of variation, day-to-day, is 5.6%. Mean recovery of added methaqualone was 80%. To compensate for the nonquantitative yield and ensure accurate results, we prepared all analytical methaqualone standards in serum.

Abstract A microcoulometric gas chromatographic method for detecting chick edema factor in fats was studied collaboratively by six laboratories. The method involved extracting unsaponifiable material from fat and fractionating it on an activated alumina column, then examining the third alumina fraction by microcoulometric gas chromatography. Results did not warrant adoption of the method. Initial studies with electron capture gas chromatography for this determination showed promise. A better cleanup procedure needs to be developed. It is planned to continue the study, and to combine acetonitrile extraction and cleanup on an acid- Celite column with electron capture determination.
