Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for determination of azinphosmethyl (Guthion®) in formulated products has been developed. Samples are dissolved in acetonitrile and analyzed by reverse-phase chromatography using n-butyrophenone as an internal standard. The method was subjected to a collaborative study involving 15 participating laboratories. Each collaborator was furnished with reference standard, internal standard, and blind duplicate samples of Guthion 50% wettable powder (50WP), 3 flowable (3F), and emulsifiable concentrate (2L and 2S) formulations. Collaborators were instructed to evaluate the method by peak height measurements only. Relative standard deviations for reproducibility (RSDR) were 1.11, 6.28, 2.47, and 1.17% for the 50WP, 3F, 2L, and 2S formulations, respectively. The method has been approved interim official first action for determination of azinphos-methyl in the 50WP, 2L, and 2S formulations.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of anilazine (DYRENE®) in formulated products has been developed and subjected to a collaborative study involving 15 participating laboratories. Each collaborator was furnished with reference standard, internal standard, and blind duplicate samples of DYRENE 80% concentrate, 75% wettable powder (75 WP), 50 WP, and 4 flowable formulation. Samples are dissolved in acetonitrile and analyzed by reverse phase chromatography using octanophenone as an internal standard. Collaborators were instructed to evaluate the method by either peak area or peak height measurements. Seven laboratories performed the analyses using peak areas; 8 laboratories used peak heights. Peak area measurements for the wettable powder samples resulted in statistically high bias vs peak height measurements. This was apparently due to inconsistent integration parameters among collaborators. Difficulties in establishing the correct integration parameters are illustrated along with t-test values for the 2 measurement techniques. Coefficients of variation of the peak height values obtained on the 80 concentrate, 75 WP, 50 WP, and 4 flowable were 1.68,1.29,1.74, 1.87%, respectively. The method has been adopted official first action.

Abstract A collaborative study has been conducted on a gasliquid chromatographic (GLC) method for determining pentachloronitrobenzene (PCNB) in formulations. Wettable powder, liquid, and granular matched pairs of commercial products were analyzed by 17 laboratories using peak height measurements and by 12 laboratories using integrator area measurements. Samples were dissolved in chloroform and aliquots were mixed with internal standard before GLC analysis on a 5% SE-30 column. Mean coefficients of variation for the completed study were 1.54% for integrator area measurements and 1.35% for peak height measurements. The method has been adopted official first action.

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.

Abstract Several changes were suggested for standardization of the AOAC official final action gas chromatographic method for the determination of indole in shrimp. In a collaborative study, 3 FDA laboratories compared the modified method with the current method. At a 95% confidence level, the same results were obtained for each respective sample by the AOAC or the modified method, which had the following changes. The cleanup column was standardized by drying the silica gel for 2 h at 125°C and equilibrating with 3 g of water/25 g of silica gel. Concentrated ethyl acetate shrimp extracts were treated with anhydrous sodium sulfate before column cleanup and indole was eluted from the column with 15% ethyl ether/hexane. A reduced amount of the internal standard, 2-methylindole, was used to improve peak height measurements at the 25 μg% indole level. The modified method has been adopted official first action to replace method 18.075.

Abstract We describe a gas-liquid chromatographic method for determining mephenytoin and its active metabolite, desmethylmephenytoin, in human serum. 5-Methyl-5-phenylhydantoin is used as the internal standard. The method involves extraction of the drugs by adsorption onto charcoal and off-column derivatization to their pentyl derivatives. Peak height and concentration are linearly related and the day-to-day CV for therapeutic concentration is about 2 to 6%. No interferences by endogenous compounds or drugs commonly used for seizure control have been encountered.

Abstract An Ion-exchange liquid chromatographic method for the determination of glycerol in wine, white grape juice, and pink grape juice was collaboratively studied by 8 laboratories. Eight wine types and 12 juice samples were provided to each collaborator. Using a strong cation column, blind duplicates and standards were analyzed by an external standard method. Separate statistical evaluations were run on wine, white grape juice, and pink grape juice data. The averages of the relative standard deviations for repeatability, excluding outlying results, were 1.25% for the wine samples, 7.32% for the white grape juice samples, and 8.63% for the pink grape juice samples. The averages of the relative standard deviations for reproducibility, excluding outlying results, were 2.79% for the wine samples, 16.97% for the white grape juice samples, and 19.10% for the pink grape juice samples. The method has been adopted first action by AOAC International.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for determination of thiabendazole, 5-hydroxythiabendazole, oxfendazole, mebendazole (MBZ), and fenbendazole (FBZ) In cattle liver and muscle was collaboratively studied in 7 laboratories In 1986. For blind fortified samples containing 800 ppb FBZ, average recovery and relative standard deviations for repeatability and reproducibility (RSDr and RSDR) based on results from 6 of the participating laboratories were 83%, 12.7%, and 14.0%, respectively. Recoveries of FBZ from incurred liver samples were more variable. Recoveries of MBZ from livers fortified at the 100 ppb level were encouraging; however, the drug levels were too low in the incurred samples used for MBZ studies. Except for FBZ and MBZ In liver, the study data were not satisfactory. The method has been adopted official first action by AOAC for determination of 800-1600 ppb fenbendazole In liver. The analysis should be repeated using a smaller sample size when Initial analyses show levels greater than 1600 ppb FBZ.
