Gas Chromatographic Determination of Chlordimeform in Pesticide Formulations: Collaborative Study
Keyword(s):
Abstract Agaschromatographic (GC) procedure for the determination of chlordimeform in emulsiflable concentrate formulations containing about 46% active ingredient was collaboratively studied using the matched pair scheme. Chlordimeform was extracted from the formulation with methylene chloride containing diethyl terephthalate as the internal standard, chromatographed on CBWX-20M, and detected by flame ionization. Determinations on the 4 samples by 20 government, university, and industrial collaborators using peak area measurements showed within-laboratory repeatability of better than 1%. Reproducibility was 1.2% for the formulation. The method has been adopted official first action.
