Abstract A method is described for determining vitamin D in multivitamin preparations; in the method, vitamins D2 and D3 are isomerized with antimony trichloride and separated by GLC. Vitamins D,2 and D3 are differentiated and measured separately and one vitamin may be used as an internal standard for the other. Vitamin A is largely removed by partition chromatography but can be tolerated in the final dilution in a ratio of 1:1 with vitamin D. When the method was used for the assay of multivitamin preparations, the coefficient of variation was 3.2%.

Abstract A method for the quantitative determination of 0.5—20 μg vitamins D2 and D3 by gas-liquid chromatography is described. Vitamins D2 and D3 are completely isomerized to their respective isotachysterol isomers by acetyl chloride as demonstrated by ultraviolet and infrared absorption data. Dihydrotachysterol D2, isotachysterol D2, and isotachysterol D3 are completely resolved with a 3% JXR on 100-120 mesh Gas Chrom Q column packing. Calibration studies show that each compound exhibited a characteristic dose-response plot. Therefore, one isomer cannot be used as a direct internal standard for the quantitative measurement of the other isomer.

SUMMARY A method is described for estimating oestriol in 2–10 ml samples of human pregnancy peripheral plasma. It incorporates acid hydrolysis, chemical purification, methylation, chromatography on alumina columns, formation of a derivative and quantitative determination by gas chromatography. A radioactive internal standard was added to correct for procedural losses. Plasma oestriol determinations in five normal patients throughout pregnancy and delivery are reported.

Abstract Rapid, accurate, and precise gas-chromatographic methods are reported for measurement of propoxyphene ("Darvon") in serum. A sample of 5 ml of serum is required for quantitation in blood after a therapeutic dose of 130-195 mg of propoxyphene; in cases of overdose of propoxyphene, only 1 ml of serum is required in a "toxic method" variation. Neither serum from healthy controls or from hospitalized patients contains interfering substances. Several commonly used analgesic and sedative drugs, added to a serum pool, also did not interfere. Day-to-day precision of the therapeutic method, as measured by the coefficient of variation (CV), is 7%; the CV for the method as applied to overdose cases is less than 3%. Propoxyphene added to serum could be about 86% accounted for analytically.

Abstract Phenothiazine, promethazine.HCl, chlorpromazine. HCl, promazine.HCl, and levomepromazine. HCl were chromatographed satisfactorily on a column containing 5% Apiezon L coated on Anakrom ABS, 100/110 mesh, using a hydrogen-flame ionization detector. This gas chromatographic technique is rapid and more specific than existing official methods. The use of an internal standard to improve precision will be investigated.

Abstract Although the gas chromatographic separation of the isomers of BHC was demonstrated two decades ago, the present AOAC method of analysis of BHC for gamma-isomer (lindane) content is based on a separation carried out on a liquid chromatographic partition column. A method of analysis has been developed that uses an OV-210 column for separation of the gamma-isomer from the other isomers and impurities in technical BHC. Di-n-propyl phthalate was chosen as an internal standard. The same system allows quantitation of lindane in lotion and shampoo after these products are extracted with ethyl acetate-isooctane (1 + 4). The analytical methods were subjected to a collaborative trial with 10 laboratories. The coefficient of variation for technical BHC was 2.83%. For the water-dispersible powder and emulsifiable concentrate, the coefficients of variation were 2.89% and 4.62%, respectively. Coefficients of variation for 1% lindane lotion and shampoo were 4.36% and 11.92%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract Wine samples containing β-asarone (cis-2,4,5-trimethoxy-1-propenylbenzene) are distilled; β-asarone is extracted by hexane and then quantitatively determined by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), using ethyl palmitate as the internal standard. The GLC procedure is rapid and yields precise and accurate results. Mass spectrometery confirmed the identity of the GLC peak as β-asarone. The ultraviolet spectra of β-asarone and its isomer were also determined.

Abstract Gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) coupled with column chromatography was used to accurately determine as little as 25 ppm p-chloroacetanilide in acetaminophen. p-Chloroacetanilide was eluted from a pH 8 phosphate-buffered diatomite partition column by using purified tetrachloroethylene (acetaminophen was retained). This solution was concentrated, internal standard (docosane) was added, and p-chloroacetanilide was determined by using a 0.9 m × 2 mm glass column packed with 3% Poly A 103 on Supelcoport and a flame ionization detector with electronic integration. Standard curves were linear for 10–100 ppm p-chloroacetanilide. Various chromatographic materials were investigated for optimal retention characteristics. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was also evaluated as an alternative; however, lack of reproducibility of the HPLC column favored the GLC procedure.

Abstract Siduron is formulated with fertilizers at about 2.4%. The herbicide is extracted with CHC13, using a magnetic stirrer, p,p'-methoxychlor is added as an internal standard, and the relative GLC peak heights are determined. The GLC column is 3% JXR on Gas-Chrom Q, and the mode of detection is hydrogen flame ionization.

Abstract Infrared (IR) and gas chromatographic methods have been developed for determining the acaricide amitraz (N-(2,4-dimethylphenyl)-N - [[(2,4- dimethylphenyl)imino]methyl] - N - methanimidamide) in cattle dip solutions. Extraction with petroleum ether, followed by IR and gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) gave coefficients of variation of 3.4 and 3.6%, respectively, for 0.010-0.035% amitraz. Dilution of the dip sample with acetone and determination by GLC gave a coefficient of variation of 3.6% in the same range. Recovery of amitraz from fortified dip samples was 97–100%.
