Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantitative determination of dioxathion and chlorfenvinphos in emulsifiable concentrates and livestock dips. A convenient quantity of the emulsifiable formulation is dissolved in xylene and the aqueous dip is extracted with xylene for gas chromatographic analysis, using a mixed silicone oil stationary phase and a flame ionization detector. The coefficients of variation for the dioxathion and chlorfenvinphos determinations in the emulsifiable concentrate are 2.4 and 1.0%, respectively. Recoveries of the former from a fouled dip ranged from 97 to 103% and recoveries of the latter ranged from 92 to 97%.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described for determining acephate (O,S-dimethyl acetylphosphoramidothioate) and a metabolite, Ortho 9006 (O,S-dimethyl phosphoramidothioate), in a variety of crops. After extraction of the sample with ethyl acetate, the solvent is evaporated, and an ether solution of the residue is passed through a silica gel column to remove interferences. Acephate and Ortho 9006 are eluted from the column with 10% methanol in ether and measured simultaneously by programmed temperature gas chromatography, using an alkali flame ionization detector.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method for the determination of isofenphos (OFTANOL®) in isofenphos technical and liquid formulations has been developed and collaboratively studied by 11 laboratories. Two technical samples and 2 liquid flowable samples were analyzed after shaking/extracting in methanol which contained diisobutyl phthalate as an internal standard. The extracts were analyzed by gas chromatography using an SP-2100 column and either flame ionization or thermal conductivity detection. Coefficients of variation were 0.57 and 1.27% for the technical and formulated products, respectively. The GC method has been adopted official first action as a AOACCTPAC method.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method is presented for the quantitative determination of 1,4- dioxane in polysorbate 60 and polysorbate 80. Dioxane is isolated from the matrix by closedsystem vacuum distillation with water as the carrier solvent. The distillate is chromatographed on Chromosorb 104 and detected by flame ionization. Recoveries of dioxane from polysorbate 60 samples fortified at 0.5, 1, 2, and 20 ppm averaged 90, 91, 85, and 75%, respectively. Recoveries from polysorbate 80 fortified at the same levels averaged 100, 88, 95, and 95%, respectively. Samples of polysorbate 60 and polysorbate 80 were found to contain from 5.5 to 378 ppm dioxane.

Abstract The gas chromatographic method for antioxidants (butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene) in corn and rice ready-to-eat breakfast cereals was studied collaboratively. The method employs a column of 80–100 mesh acid-washed Chromosorb P, with a 20% coating of DC-200 silicone oil; an argon ionization detector with a radium source was used. Results were in the 90–110% range, when the instructions were followed exactly. Recoveries ranged between 10 and 180% under conditions deviating from the proposed method. In view of the inconclusive results, it is recommended that the written procedure be revised and that the method be restudied collaboratively.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method is described for the quantitative determination of d-trans-allethrin in the technical product and in various formulations. The samples are diluted with acetone and analyzed by gas chromatography, using a flame ionization detector and a column packed with OV-1 on Chromosorb W (HP). Preliminary work indicates that satisfactory results can be obtained with the technical material and several different formulations. Since this method is more rapid and specific than the present AOAC titrimetric method, it is expected that it will be a valuable supplement to or alternative for the AOAC method for the analysis of allethrin.

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 A GLC method (flame ionization detector) for ronnel in cattle feeds at levels of 0.038, 0.041, and 0.055% was studied by 11 collaborators. The method involves extraction of ronnel by shaking with acetone followed by direct chromatographic measurement. The method is simple and rapid (no cleanup required), measures true ronnel, and is free from interferences present in the UV methods previously studied. Agreement between laboratories was satisfactory; coefficients of variation were 11.0, 12.0, and 7.2%. Ronnel recoveries were 81.1, 93.5, and 98.0%. Low recovery from the first sample may be due to ronnel hydrolysis or binding during storage (sample was 8 months old). The Associate Keferee recommends that the method be adopted as official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on a gas chromatographic method for determination of fensulfothion. Eleven laboratories analyzed 2 technical and two 6 lb/U.S. gal. spray concentrate samples. In the analysis, samples are dissolved in methylene chloride which contains 4-chlorophenyl sulfoxide as an internal standard, and solutions are injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with an OV-330 column. Withinlaboratory repeatability was 0.79% for technical product and 0.37% for the spray concentrate samples, with coefficients of variation of 0.88 and 0.58%, respectively. Among-laboratories reproducibility was 0.81% for technical product and 0.53% for the spray concentrate, with coefficients of variation of 0.91 and 0.84%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

The samples are diluted with acetone and analyzed by GLC, using a flame ionization detector and a column packed with OV-1 on Chromosorb W (HP). Preliminary work indicates that satisfactory results can be obtained with the technical material and several different formulations.

Abstract Six laboratories collaboratively studied a headspace gas chromatographic method for determination of ethanol in the aqueous phase of canned salmon. Ethanol is determined by a headspace sampling technique with tert-butanol as the internal standard, using a gas chromatograph equipped with a Super Q column and a flame ionization detector. With outliers excluded, the mean recoveries from samples spiked with 25.1 and 78.4 ppm ethanol were 112 and 110%, respectively. For the 4 sample pairs quantitated, repeatability coefficients of variation ranged from 1.42 to 4.25% and reproducibility coefficients of variation from 2.55 to 8.09%, with 3 of the 4 reported values less than 5%. The method has been adopted official first action.
