Abstract An electron capture gas chromatographic method for the determination of sulfamethazine was modified to separate and quantitate simultaneously sulfamethazine and 2 of its metabolites, N4-acetylsulfamethazine and desaminosulfamethazine. The modified method was applied to incurred residues in a veal calf depletion study and to incurred residues in swine tissues. With capillary column gas chromatography-positive ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry, confirmation of the identities of incurred desaminosulfamethazine, N4-acetylsulfamethazine, and sulfamethazine in tissues was obtained from a single injection.

Abstract An electron-capture negative chemical ionization (NCI) gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for determination of lead (Pb) in blood samples is described. Extraction of Pb from the sample does not involve hot digestion but is based on treatment at ambient temperature. The blood sample is supplemented with a known amount of internal standard (204Pb) for isotope dilution and is treated with concentrated nitric acid. After adjusting the pH to 7, the Pb is extracted into toluene as the pyrrolidine-dithiocarbamate chelate. Samples are then derivatized with 4- fluorophenylmagnesium bromide to form Pb(FC6H4)4. The use of NCI offers enhanced sensitivity (by 75-fold better than previously used electron ionization), gives good precision and accuracy, and has no observable memory effect. The isotope dilution GCoff methodology typically agreed within 2-3% of expected values for the College of American Pathologists blood Pb specimens and the National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Material 955a.
