Abstract The qualitative and quantitative determination of chlordane residues on raw agricultural products has been best achieved by gas chromatography techniques. While good recoveries (90–100% at the 0.1 ppm level) have been obtained from plant extracts with added standard chlordane, weathered chlordane residues show changes in number and size of gas chromatographic peaks. Chlordane at the 50 µg level, when exposed to the air at room temperature over a period of time, showed progressive decomposition and loss of the many components that make up chlordane.

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 Accurate methods are described for the qualitative and quantitative determination of medazepam, diazepam, and nitrazepam in 5 ml of whole blood. Medazepam and diazepam are analyzed intact and nitrazepam is chromatographed as its trimethylsilyl derivative by flame-ionization gas-chromatography on "1% OV-17." A supplementary column of "2% OV-1" is used to separate nitrazepam TMS from diazepam when both are present in the same extract. Essential data given include the percentage recovery of medazepam, and the flame-ionization detector responses of diazepam and silylated nitrazepam relative to medazepam, calculated after extraction from blood and gas-chromatographic analysis. Chromatograms are illustrated of extracts of blood taken from patients on medazepam and diazepam therapy and from a patient who had taken an overdose of nitrazepam.

AbstractThe screening procedure for the determination of pesticide residues in tobacco (organochlorine, organophosphorus and carbamate insecticides) published in 1970 has been improved by introduction of the dry-column chromatography as cleanup procedure. A new procedure has been developed for the detection of carbaryl and propoxur by gas chromatography. The extraction and cleanup method developed can be used to determine 11 organochlorine, 11 organophosphorus and 3 carbamate insecticides. The procedure can be applied to determine further insecticides and, in addition, fungicides, herbicides and metabolites. The recoveries of added pesticides at 0.5 ppm level are between 75 and 102 %. The coefficient of variation detected with parathion is 4.4 %

AbstractA screening method has been developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of vanillin, ethylvanillin, coumarin and dihydrocoumarin. The compounds are qualitatively determined by thin-layer chromatography after extraction of tobacco and purification of the extract. The quantitative determination is made by gas chromatography: Coumarin and dihydrocoumarin are determined directly and vanillin and ethylvanillin after silylation in the form of trimethylsilyl derivatives. Detection limit: thin-layer chromatography = 1 µg, gas chromatography = 0.02 µg. The coefficient of variation of the results obtained amounts to 2.4 % for vanillin and to 6.7 % for coumarin

A new procedure for the qualitative and quantitative determination of asparagine, glutamine and pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid in total enzymic hydrolysates of peptides and glycopeptides based on g.l.c. has been developed. Under the conditions of esterification and trifluoroacetylation N-trifluoroacetylaspartic acid mono-n-butyl ester was formed from asparagine and N-trifluoroacetylglutamic acid mono-n-butyl ester from both glutamine and pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid. To distinguish between the latter two compounds, the esterification was carried out at room temperature yielding 30% of esterified pyrrolidonecarboxylic acid but less than 1% of esterified glutamine. In extending the g.l.c. of amino acids, the previously unknown positions in the g.l.c. elution pattern of the following amino acids could also be reproducibly determined: carboxymethylcysteine, homoserine, hydroxylysine and ∈-methyl-lysine. Further, certain glycopeptides were investigated and the artifacts due to their carbohydrate moieties were determined.
