Abstract An international collaborative study of a gas chromatographic (GC) method for the determination of trans unsaturation in margarine was conducted in 1980. Thirteen collaborators analyzed a set of 2 of 3 known mixtures of methyl esters and 4 margarine methyl ester samples. Two of the margarine methyl ester samples were blind duplicates. The experimental data were subjected to statistical analysis to determine within- and between-laboratory variation. The statistical data were in excellent agreement with data from a collaborative study of the AOACIUPAC GC method for the determination of methyl esters of fatty acids. Coefficients of variation (CVs) for components in the range of 4-40% were comparable (CV 2-6% for soybean oil methyl esters (AOAC-IUPAC study) as well as for margarine methyl esters (this study)). Good recoveries of total trans acids were obtained and betweenlaboratory as well as within-laboratory CVs were consistently better for the determination of total trans acids by GC vs infrared analysis. The GC method for determining trans unsaturation in margarine 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 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 (LC) method for the determination of colchicine in pharmaceutical dosage forms and the bulk drug was evaluated in an interlaboratory study which included 13 participating laboratories. The method involves extraction (or dissolution) of the active ingredient with methanol-water (1 + 1), followed by filtration of the extract and reverse phase LC using an octy lsilane bonded phase column and UV detection at 254 nm. The mobile phase consists of a methanolphosphate buffer mixture (pH = 5.5). Three commercial tablet formulations (0.5-0.6 mg colchicine/tablet), 1 synthetic injectable preparation (0.510 mg colchicine/mL), and 1 bulk drug sample were assayed in duplicate by the proposed method. The reproducibility and repeatability standard deviations based on nonpooled results for each sample ranged from 0.0062 mg/mL to 0.0147 mg/tablet and from 0.0037 mg/ mL to 0.0127 mg/tablet, respectively; the corresponding coefficients of variation ranged from 1.21 to 2.54% and from 0.73 to 2.19%, respectively. The mean recovery from the synthetic injectable formulation was 100.0%. The method has been adopted official first action

Abstract A reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatographic method for the determination of oxazepam in tablets and capsules was collaboratively studied by 9 laboratories. Collaborators were supplied with 6 samples that included synthetic and commercial formulations. Tablet and capsule composites are diluted with methanol and filtered. Oxazepam is determined at 254 nm by using a C18 column. Mean recoveries of oxazepam from synthetic tablet and capsule formulations were 97.2 and 99.0%, respectively. Mean coefficients of variation for tablets and capsules ranged from 1.85 to 2.86%. The method has been adopted 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.

Abstract An ion-pair column chromatographic method was developed for the determination of trimethobenzamide hydrochloride in capsules and injection dosage forms. Detection is by UV spectrophotometry at 261 nm. Recoveries by the Associate Referee ranged from 98.3 to 101.0% for the drug substance. Results by 5 collaborators for capsules averaged 99.1% of labeled or theoretical with coefficients of variation (CVs) of 1.81% (reproducibility) and 1.17% (repeatability); results for injec- , tions averaged 100.4% of labeled or theoretical with CVs of 1.91% (reproducibility) and 0.69% (repeatability). The method has been adopted official first action

Abstract Twelve laboratories collaboratively studied a liquid chromatographic method for determination of quinic, malic, and citric acids in cranberry juice cocktail and apple juice. Samples are passed through a disposable silica cartridge, filtered, and directly injected into the chromatograph. The mobile phase is 0.2M KH2PO4 (pH 2.4). Two reverse phase columns are used, with UV detection at 214 nm. Six samples of cranberry juice cocktail and 6 samples of apple juice were sent to each collaborator. Repeatability and reproducibility coefficients of variation ranged from 1.2 to 7.6% and from 2.9 to 14.7%, respectively, for quinic, malic, and citric acid levels above 0.10%. The precision of the method is satisfactory. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of brominated vegetable oils in soft drinks was collaboratively studied, using a commercial orange drink spiked with known amounts of brominated sesame oil. Initial results based on calculations involving total peak area measurement were considered erroneously high, since drink components coeluted with the C16 and C18 methyl esters, especially at low levels of brominated oil. A modified calculation, based only on brominated ester content, showed recovery values (6 collaborators) of 94.6, 95.3, and 96.0% for drinks containing 3.10, 5.22, and 10.66 mg/10 fluid oz., respectively, with corresponding standard deviation values of 0.40, 0.46, and 0.64. The method with the modified calculation incorporated has been adopted as official first action.

Abstract An LC method for determination of aminocarb (Matacil™) in aminocarb technical and formulated products has been developed and subjected to a collaborative study with 10 participating collaborators. Formulations are extracted with tetrahydrofuran-buffer (60 + 40) and analyzed by reverse phase chromatography, with n-butyrophenone as internal standard. Collaborators were furnished with standards and samples of technical and 180 oil flowable products for analysis. Coefficients of variation obtained on these samples were 0.72 and 1.7%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.
