ABSTRACT
A simple and rapid gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method was developed for the determination of residues of chlorpyrifos-methyl in dry cat food. Cat food fortified with chlorpyrifos-methyl was extracted with acetone and cleaned up on a modified acetonitrile-on-Florisil partitioning column. The chlorpyrifos-methyl was determined by GLC with a flame photometric detector. Results were compared with those for known standards that had undergone the same cleanup procedure. The quantitative electronic integration limit of determination was 0.03 pp. Average recoveries for 5 analyses at fortification levels from 0.052 to 51 ppm ranged from 90 to 102% and averaged 97%.

A simple and rapid gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method was developed for the analysis of aqueous solutions of FMC 33297 (mphenoxybenzyl cis,trans-(+/-)-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl) - 2,2 - dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate). The compound is extracted from aqueous solution with benzene and cleaned up by liquid chromatography. The sample extracts are analyzed by GLC with a flame ionization detector and quantitated by comparing integrator counts of extracts with those of standards. Recoveries of FMC 33297 were 90-100%. The method has good precision (the standard deviation for 4 determinations of a 0.002394% formulation was 6 X 10(-6)) and is sensitive to 0.00004% active ingredient by weight,

A gas-liquid chromatographic (GLC) method was developed for the determination of residues of resmethrin ((5-benzyl-3-furyl)methyl cis-trans-(+/-)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2-methylpropenyl)-cyclopropanecarboxylate) in corn, cornmeal, flour, and wheat. The commodity, fortified with resmethrin, was extracted by tumbling with pentane and transferred to acetonitrile, the fat was partitioned off, and the sample was chromatographed with 3% ethyl acetate in pentane on Florisil containing 0.5% water. The resmethrin residue was determined by GLC with a flame ionization detector. The results were compared with known standards that had undergone the same cleanup procedures. The method was sensitive to concentrations of resmethrin to 0.2 ppm, recoveries averaged 83%, and reproducibility was good.
