Abstract An isothermal gas chromatographic (GC) method for measuring propachlor in formulations was tested by 12 collaborators. Samples are prepared in acetone and determined using a GC column of 10% SP-2250 on 100-200 mesh Supelcoport, and diisobutyl phthalate as internal standard. Collaborators made single determinations on each of 2 similar materials (matched pairs) on 2 days for 3 pairs of samples. The study generated 62 matched pairs which were used in Youden’s matched pair calculations. The coefficients of variation (CV,) for flowable formulations were 0.84 and 1.48%; the CV, for the granular formulation was 1.28%. The method was simple to use and did not reveal any interferences in the samples tested. The method has been adopted official first action as an AOAC-CIPAC method.

Abstract An isothermal gas chromatographic method for measuring alachlor in formulations was tested by 26 collaborators. The samples were prepared in acetone and determined with a gas chromatographic column of 10% SP 2250 on 100-120 mesh Supelcoport and with di-n-pentyl phthalate as internal standard. Collaborators made single determinations on each of 2 similar materials (matched pairs) on 2 days for 3 pairs of samples. The study generated 44 matched pairs which were used in Youden's matched-pair calculations. The coefficients of variation (CV,) for liquid formulations were 1.23% and 0.94%, while the CV, for the granular formulation was 1.60 %. The method was simple to use and did not reveal any interferences in the samples tested. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract An isothermal gas chromatographic (GC) method for measuring butachlor in formulations was tested by 15 laboratories. Samples were prepared in acetone and determined using a GC column of 10% SP-2250 on 100-120 mesh Supelcoport, and triphenyl phosphate as internal standard. Collaborators made single determinations on each of 2 similar materials (matched pairs) on 2 days for 2 pairs of samples. The study generated 56 matched pairs which were used in Youden’s matched pair calculations. Coefficients of variation (CV,) for liquid formulations were 1.06 and 0.98%. The method was simple to use and did not reveal any interferences in the samples tested. The method has been adopted official first action as an AOAC-CIPAC method.

Abstract A gas chromatographic (GC) procedure for the determination of metolachlor in emulsifiable concentrate formulations containing about 76% active ingredient was collaboratively studied using the matched pair scheme. Metolachlor was extracted from the formulation with acetone containing dipentyl phthalate as the internal standard, chromatographed on OV-101, and detected by flame ionization. Determinations on the 4 samples by 21 government, university, and industrial collaborators using peak area measurements showed within-laboratory repeatability of better than 0.5%. Reproducibility was better than 1% for the formulation. The method has been adopted official first action.

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.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the determination of glyphosate in various water-soluble granular formulations was tested by 28 laboratories. Samples were dissolved in mobile phase and injected directly into an LC system with a 25 cm SAX column and a mobile phase of 96% aqueous buffer solution, 0.0062M KH2PO4, and 4% methanol. Detection was by UV absorption at 195 nm. Manual or automated injections were made via fixed-volume loops. Calculations were based on peak area comparisons with external standards. The collaborative study analyzed 5 matched pairs of 4 water-soluble granular formulations, with one determination per sample. The study generated 138 matched pairs, which were analyzed by using the AOAC spreadsheet and Youden’s matched-pair calculations. Coefficients of variation for the 4 formulations ranged from 0.65 to 1.37%. The LC method for the determination of glyphosate in water-soluble granular formulations has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method for the analysis of technical and formulated carbofuran samples was evaluated in a collaborative study. Carbofuran is determined by reverse phase LC, using a water-methanol mobile phase and acetophenone as internal standard, and detected at 280 nm. Twelve samples, 5 formulations and technical matched pairs, were analyzed by 17 collaborating laboratories. Accuracy and variability of results are typical of large LC data sets. 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.
