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 Cyhexatin technical (95%), 25 and 50% wettable powders, and a 600 g/L suspension concentrate were analyzed by liquid chromatography in a collaborative study of the method. Paired samples of cyhexatin technical and the 3 formulations were extracted with a mixture of methanol-water-acetic acid (950 + 49 + 1) containing n-decylbenzene as internal standard. Components were separated on a Lichrosorb RP-18 column using methanol-water-HCl-NaCl (93 + 7 + 0.001M + 0.005M) at 2.0 mL/min, and then detected at 214 nm. Results were received from 18 of the 20 laboratories who agreed to participate in the study; 14 sets of data were suitable for statistical evaluation. Repeatability coefficients of variation (CV0 ranged from 0.46% for the 50% wettable powder to 1.14% for the suspension concentrate. Reproducibility coefficients of variation (CVX) ranged from 0.70 to 1.85% for the 4 types of samples. The method has been adopted official first action as a CIPAC-AOAC method.

Abstract An HPLC method for the determination of temephos in temephos technical and formulated products has been subjected to an international collaborative study with 14 laboratories participating. Samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and eluted on a silica gel column with ethyl acetate-hexane (1 + 9); p-nitrophenyl p-nitrobenzoate served as the internal standard. Collaborators were furnished samples of technical, 20 and 50% emulsifiable concentrates, 50% water-dispersible powder, and 1% sand granules. The coefficients of variation of the values obtained on the 5 samples were 1.21,2.02,1.26,1.89, and 9.90%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Formulations are extracted with acetonitrile and analyzed by reverse phase chromatography, with acetophenone as an internal standard. Collaborators were furnished samples of technical, 75% wettable powder, 75% seed treater, 75% concentrate, and 50% hopper box treater. Coefficient of variation values obtained on the 5 samples were 0.71, 0.83, 0.62, 1.57, and 0.82%, respectively. The method has been adopted 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 A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of triadimefon (Bayleton™) in triadimefon technical and formulated products has been developed and subjected to a collaborative study with 7 participating collaborators. Formulations were extracted with mobile solvent and analyzed by normal phase chromatography, with 4-chlorophenyl sulfoxide as an internal standard. Collaborators were furnished with standards and samples of technical products, 50% wettable powders, and 25% wettable powders for analysis. Coefficients of variation of the values obtained on these samples were 1.42, 0.82, and 1.05%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for determination of bendiocarb in technical materials and wettable powders was tested by 12 collaborators. Bendiocarb is dissolved in acetonitrile containing 0.1% propiophenone as internal standard. This solution is analyzed on a liquid chromatograph utilizing a reverse phase (C18) column. The compound is detected at 254 nm and peak area is used for quantitation. The 3 different materials studied contained 20, 80, and nominally 100% bendiocarb. Each was examined in duplicate to provide the necessary matched pairs. Collaborators approved of the ease and simplicity of the method and, in particular, the way the method can be applied to automatic injection assemblies. The statistical data show acceptable precision of the method: Reproducibility coefficients of variation were 20% material, 2.04%; 80% material, 1.02%; and nominal 100% material (technical product), 0.64%. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of simazine in a wettable powder formulation containing about 80% active ingredient was collaboratively studied, using a matched pair scheme. The samples were dissolved in dimethylformamide containing dioctyl phthalate as an internal standard, chromatographed on Carbowax 20M, and detected by using a flame ionization detector. Analysis of the 2 samples, based on peak height measurements, showed the following results: 1.5% overall coefficient of variation, 1.03% coefficient of variation for random error, and 0.23% systematic error. Sample A was an 80% powder formulation; Sample B was a 5% dilution of Sample A by the addition of inert material. The coefficients of variation were 1.20% for Sample A and 1.54% for Sample B. The larger variation in Sample B most likely resulted from nonuniform mixing during the dilution of Sample A. Since all collaborators used the same reference standard, the variation found in Sample A is more indicative of the variability of the method. The method has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract In-house validation of a liquid chromatographic method for determination of sulfamethazine in swine and cattle feed was performed to verify that the method was ready for collaborative study under AOAC INTERNATIONAL guidelines. In this method, sulfamerazine is added during the extraction procedure and is used as an internal standard to correct for variable recovery of sulfamethazine from a variety of swine and cattle feed matrixes. The determinative step involves the use of post-column derivatization with dimethylaminobenzaldehyde which reacts with the primary amine group on the sulfonamides. Detection is at 450 nm, a wavelength at which most co-extracted matrix materials and other feed additives do not absorb light. The results indicate that the method recovery, precision, and ruggedness meet normal criteria to be ready for a collaborative study. Fortification experiments over a range of sulfamethazine concentrations from 0.006 to 0.26% showed an overall recovery relative to the internal standard of 100 ± 2%. These studies include both swine and cattle feed matrixes. The mean recovery in the analysis of 3 beef cattle experimental feeds was 98.9%. The method results agreed with the AOAC INTERNATIONAL Official Method for colorimetric analysis of swine feed. Method precision was excellent during in-house validation studies, with coefficients of variation (CVs) ranging from about 0.5 to 3%. The method ruggedness was verified with an overall CV of 3.5%.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of chlorobenzilate and chloropropylate in liquid formulations containing about 46 and 26% active ingredient, respectively, was collaboratively studied, using a matched pair scheme. The samples were dissolved in acetone containing dibenzyl succinate as an internal standard and chromatographed on Carbowax 20M, using a flame ionization detector. Analyses of 4 samples by 13 collaborators using peak height measurements showed the following results: chlorobenzilate—2.5% overall coefficient of variation, 1.0% coefficient of variation for the random error; and 0.7% systematic error; chloropropylate—2.0, 1.4, and 0.4%, respectively. The method has been adopted as official first action.
