Abstract The GLC method described is specific for measuring 4 components of Phosphamidon Insecticide—deschlorophosphamidon, α-phosphamidon, β-phosphamidon, and γ-chlorophosphamidon. The sample is extracted with acetone, an internal standard (dicyclohexyl phthalate) is added, and the solution is diluted to volume and injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Although the GLC peak areas for phosphamidon are not linear over a wide range of concentration, good results are obtained when sample and standard concentrations are matched to within 10%. A 1.21% coefficient of variation was found for 19 repetitive injections.

Abstract Eptam, Ordram, Ro-Neet, Sutan, Tillam, and Vernam thiocarbamate herbicides are determined in emulsifiable and granular formulations by gas chromatography on an OV-1, SE-30, or OV-17 column with a flame ionization detector. Another thiocarbamate is used as an internal standard. The method was tested collaboratively by 19 laboratories, 18 of which tested the method on all 6 thiocarbamates. The coefficient of variation for 12 formulations was 3.10%. A significant amount of systematic error was detected, particularly in the analysis of emulsifiable formulations. The method has been adopted as official first action, and it is recommended that additional studies be conducted.

Abstract An extremely simple, rapid method is described for simultaneously determining methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol, and low-boiling hydrocarbons associated with glue sniffing. Less than 1 µl of blood, mixed with an internal standard, is injected directly into a low-cost gas chromatograph equipped with a flame-ionization detector. No extraction, distillation, and (or) sample preparation is required, and the method is sensitive to less than 10 µg of alcohol per ml.

Abstract A rapid and simple method of analysis has been developed for sorbitol in cooked sausage products. Sorbitol is extracted from cooked sausage products with water, an aliquot of the extract is freeze-dried, and the trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivative of sorbitol is formed. An aliquot of the TMS-sorbitol is injected into a gas chromatograph and measured by a flame ionization detector. Analysis of fortified samples shows that the recovery compares well with known amounts of sorbitol added.

Abstract A gas chromatographic method has been developed that is rapid and specific for trifluralin in formulations. The sample is extracted with acetone, an internal standard is added, and the solution is diluted to volume and injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Three typical trifluralin formulations were analyzed by both the gas chromatographic method and an ultraviolet method. The gas chromatographic method gave an average recovery of 101.2%.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method, using a 4% XE-60 on 80-100 mesh Gas-Chrom Q column, a flame ionization detector, and anthracene as the internal standard, has been developed for the direct determination of nikethamide. Eight collaborators analyzed 4 samples, using methanol as the solvent; the coefficients of variation obtained ranged from 1.19 to 3.20%. In a limited study with acetone as the solvent, the coefficients of variation ranged from 0.59 to 1.96%. The GLC method with acetone as a solvent has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic method is presented for determining ethopabate in 0.8 and 8.0% premixes. A sample is extracted with tetrahydrofuran containing an internal standard, by sonication or overnight soaking. The extract is clarified by centrifugation, diluted if necessary, and injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Average per cent recoveries for spiked blank samples were 100.6 at the 0.8% level and 100.4 at the 8.0% level. Precision, as indicated by replicate analyses of several premixes, ranged from 0.5 to 1.7% relative standard deviation

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 A method is described for the determination of cypermethrin, 3-(2,2- dichloroethenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-cyclopropanecarboxylate cyano-(3- phenoxyphenyl)methyl ester, in technical and formulated material by capillary gas chromatography (CGC). Samples of technical or formulated material are dissolved in CH2Cl2 containing dicyclohexyl phthalate as internal standard. The solution is injected into a gas chromatograph fitted with a flame ionization detector and capillary column of 25 m x 0.32 mm fused silica with a thick film OV-1 phase at 240°C. Injection is made into a heated injection port fitted with an antidiscrimination device in a split mode. Peak areas obtained at retention times of the internal standard and active ingredient are measured with an integrator. The quantity of cypermethrin is determined by comparing the internal standard and active ingredient peak areas with those obtained from a calibration solution containing known amounts of internal standard and pure active ingredient. Five samples were chosen for collaborative study: technical cypermethrin, 70% liquid concentrate, 3 lb/US gal. emulsifiable, 3 ib/US gal. oil concentrate, and 40% wettable powder. Twelve collaborators carried out replicate determinations on each sample on separate days. Coefficients of variation between laboratories (CVX) were 2.13 for the technical, 2.94 for the emulsifiable concentrate, 3.51 for the liquid concentrate, 2.66 for the wettable powder, and 2.29 for the oil concentrate. The method was adopted official first action.

Abstract In this method for detection and quantification of volatile alcohols by capillary gas chromatography, the serum sample is deproteinized, then directly injected into the gas chromatograph with 1-propanol as the internal standard. The capillary column is a 30-m bonded methylsilicone-coated, fused-silica column. With helium as the carrier gas, the injector inlet is set at a split ratio of 1/30 and the average linear velocity in the column is 25 cm/s. Injector and flame-ionization detector temperatures are 280 degrees C, oven temperature 35 degrees C. Chromatography time is less than 3 min.
