Abstract In the analyses of commercial fly-bait samples for DDVP (0,0-dimethyI-2,2-dichloro vinyl phosphate), containing Dipterex (0,0-dimethyl-2,2,2-trichloro - 1 - hydroxyethyl phosphonate) as a guaranteed ingredient, interferences were observed at 9.9– 10.4/t with the current spectrophotometric methods. These samples were analyzed by an electron capture gas chromatographic method, and the results showed no interference from Dipterex or other substances. A selected group of samples was analyzed by gas chromatography and spectrophotometry, and the results were compared.

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.

Abstract This gas-chromatographic method for assay of fluoxetine and norfluoxetine in human plasma involves extraction of the drugs and use of a 63Ni electron-capture detector. The linear range of detection is 25 to 800 micrograms/L for each drug. Overall precision (CV) in the concentration range of 10 to 100 micrograms/L for both drugs was approximately 10%. Accuracy (relative error) in the same concentration range was approximately +10%. None of the commonly prescribed antidepressants or tranquilizers that we tested interfere with the assay.

Abstract A method was recently adopted by AOAC for determination of methylbound mercury in canned and fresh-frozen seafood by electron capture gas chromatography. That method was applied to the analysis of commercially prepared freezer-case seafoods. None of the commercially added ingredients produced electron capture responses that interfered in the analysis for methyl mercury. Recoveries of 95.7-114% were obtained in fortification studies of methyl mercury at 0.2 and 1.0 ppm levels. The applicability of aqueous methyl mercuric chloride solution for fortification studies was demonstrated.

AbstractA gas chromatographic method for the determination of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in cigarette smoke was developed. A column containing Porapak Q packing and a cryogenic temperature programmer which employed liquid nitrogen to cool the column to subambient temperatures was used. The separation of N

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 gas chromatographic method is described for determination of chlorothalonil residues in leaves and roots of Scrophularia and in soil. Samples were extracted with acetone and cleaned up on a Florisil column. Chlorothalonil residues are chromatographed directly on a glass column of 1.5% OV-17 and 2% QF-1 coated on 80-100 mesh Chromosorb W (HP) support and measured with a 63Ni electron capture detector. Detection limits are 0.001 ppm for leaf, 0.005 ppm for root, and 0.001 ppm for soil.

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 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.
