Abstract A simple and rapid gas-liquid chromatographic procedure, using a 6’ × ¼“ glass column packed with 5% SE-30 on Chromosorb W (DMCS) and a flame ionization detector, is described. Grain baits containing strychnine alkaloid are ground, mixed, and extracted by shaking with chloroform containing an internal standard, 1,3,5-triphenylbenzene. Without further cleanup, extract nitrates are injected directly into a gas chromatograph. Peak height ratios are used for quantitation of strychnine. The analysis of commercial samples shows that the method compares well with a commonly employed ultraviolet spectrophotometric method; good precision, with recoveries ranging from 89.9 to 91.7%, is obtained in the analysis of prepared samples. The method is sensitive to 2 μg strychnine.

Abstract A simple and rapid gas-liquid chromatographic method, using flame ionization detection and a column packed with OV-17/QF-1 on Gas-Chrom Q, is described. Chlorpyriphos is extracted from the formulation with chloroform, and dieldrin is added as an internal standard. The sample extract is injected into a gas chromatograph, and peak height ratios are used for quantitative measurement. Applicacation of the method to commercial samples gives good precision. The gas chromatographic procedure is far superior to the total chloride method for the determination of chlorpyriphos and yields values in close agreement to those obtained by infrared and colorimetric methods.

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 A simple and rapid method is described for the determination of phenothiazine in feeds. Phenothiazine is extracted with chloroform containing chlorobenzilate as an internal standard. The extract is injected into a gas chromatograph and peak height ratios are used for quantitation. The analysis of commercial samples shows that the method compares well with the more commonly employed colorimetric AOAC method, and good precision, with recoveries ranging from 96.0 to 99.9%, is obtained in the analysis of prepared samples.

Abstract A collaborative study was conducted on a GLC method for determining paraldehyde in pharmaceutical preparations of paraldehyde elixirs. Eleven collaborating laboratories analyzed 2 unknown paraldehyde solutions and a solution of known paraldehyde concentration. Recoveries of 15–25% paraldehyde solutions averaged 98.5% with a coefficient of variation of about 2%. The method consists of diluting a sample aliquot to a definite volume and determining the paraldehyde content by GLC, using a flame ionization detector and a 6’ × 4 mm coiled glass column packed with 80–100 mesh Diatoport S coated with 2% HIEFF-8BP (cyclohexane dimethanol succinate) plus 20% Carbowax 20M. The internal standard technique was used for calculation. It is recommended that the method be adopted as official first action.

Abstract A rapid method is described for the determination of disulfoton (0,0-diethyl S-[2-(ethylthio)-ethyl] phosphorodithioate) in formulations by gasliquid chromatography (GLC). Samples are dissolved in acetone, and, after an internal standard is added, the samples are diluted to volume with solvent. They are then injected into a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector and quantitated by peak height or area measurements. Fourteen collaborators made duplicate determinations on 4 samples including the technical product, a liquid, and 2 granular formulations. The average coefficient of variation was 0.847% for the liquid samples and 1.90% for the granules. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract The gas-liquid chromatographic determination of tetradifon technical and formulations was collaboratively studied in duplicate with 12 laboratories. Six samples were dissolved in dichloroethane with n-hexacosane as the internal standard, chromatographed on a column of 3% SE-52, and detected by flame ionization. The average coefficients of variation were 1.2% for the 2 technical samples, 1.6% for the 2 wettable powders, and 1.5% for the 2 emulsifiable concentrates. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract Simultaneous determination of the active ingredient and of by-products in technical and formulated pyridazinones was rapidly performed by gas-liquid chromatography with complete resolution of all compounds. Quantitative determination by the internal standard technique is accurate and precise. The lower limit of detectability is 8 × 10–12 g/sec with a flame ionization detector and 1 × 10–12 g/sec with a nitrogen-phosphorus selective detector operating in the nitrogen mode.

Abstract A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure has been developed for the assay of phenprocoumon in tablets. In comparison to the present official USP assay procedure, it is equivalent in precision and accuracy and is faster and more specific. A mobile phase consisting of a 1% solution of acetic acid in acetonitrile-water (4 + 3) separates phenprocoumon from warfarin internal standard on a 6 μm octadecylsilane (ODS) column with UV detection at 311 nm. The method enables the concurrent determination of phenprocoumon and possible contaminants such as salicylic acid.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method is described for determining isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) in tablets. ISDN is extracted from tablet excipients by a 2-phase system composed of water-ethyl ether, and detected and quantitated with a flame ionization detector after separation from the internal standard (glyceryl tributyrate) on a 3% OV-210 column. Ten replicate assays on 2 different batches of tablets, each containing 5 mg ISDN, gave coefficients of variation of 1.16 and 1.48%, respectively. Comparison of results obtained for tablets containing 5, 10, and 40 mg ISDN, and for diluted isosorbide dinitrate raw material containing 25% ISDN, showed good correlation among the GLC, USP colorimetric, and USP polarographic procedures. Assay of synthetic mixtures containing ISDN, isosorbide-2-mononitrate, and isosorbide-5-mononitrate demonstrated that the GLC procedure is specific for ISDN, whereas the USP polarographic procedure is subject to interference from the mononitrates.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic method has been developed to determine pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) in pesticide formulations including dusts, powders, granules, liquids, and fertilizers. Captan, disulfoton, and Terrazole do not interfere. Samples are extracted with chloroform, and an aliquot is mixed with an equal volume of internal standard solution containing o-terphenyl. PCNB is chromatographed on a 5% SE-30 column and quantitated by peak height ratios. The method has been subjected to a ruggedness test which indicates little sensitivity to changes in extraction and chromatographic conditions.
