Abstract A quick method for determining /V-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) levels in trifluralin emulsifiable concentrate formulations is described. At least 18 samples can be analyzed at one time in a minimum of fumehood space, with up to 90% savings on solvents and materials. A sample aliquot is mixed with a solution containing nitrosamine recovery standards, and nitrosamines are separated by minicolumn cleanup. Internal standard is added directly to the eluate containing the nitrosamines, and levels are determined by gas chromatography with thermal energy analyzer. Recoveries of spiked nitrosamines ranged from 98 to 102%. Coefficients of variation for samples containing 0.5 ppm NDPA are 13%. Minimum detectable limit, calculated as 3 times the noise, is 0.06 ppm. Comparison with the method formerly used by this laboratory shows no significant difference in the analytical results at 95% confidence limits, and control experiments were performed to ensure that there was no artifact formation of NDPA.

1. The amount of admixture in nasal lavage fluids was determined by addition of 99mTc labelled albumin, providing a correction factor for measurements of cellular material and humoral substances in nasal lavage return as well as a quantitative measure of nasal secretions. 2. Albumin was chosen as marker molecule, since only negligible amounts were absorbed or adsorbed to the mucosa during the nasal lavage. 3. Labelling of the albumin with 99mTc ensured an accuracy of measurements only limited by the precision of the weighing. The isotope allowed for the determination of the amount of admixed secretion to be carried out on the whole sample of lavage fluid, thereby avoiding the necessity of complete admixture between marker and lavage fluid which would be pertinent to marker molecules measured chemically. The radiation from a nasal lavage is minimal and the procedure is fully acceptable for repeated use in humans. 4. The nasal lavage technique adopted allowed the return of 99.2% (median value) of the instilled volume. The area irrigated was visualized on a gamma-camera, and was demonstrated to cover an area larger than the area reached by challenge from a pumpspray, i.e. a large part of the nose, yet not the oropharynx. 5. A dose related increase in nasal secretion harvested by the nasal lavage in 10 persons challenged with histamine chloride could be demonstrated by this technique. 6. It is concluded that the use of 99mTc-albumin in a nasal washing provides a safe, simple and quick method for determination of the admixed nasal secretion with a remarkable degree of accuracy. The method is therefore suggested to improve determinations of admixture in nasal lavage fluid.

Abstract A simple and accurate authentication method for the detection of adulterated vegetable oils that contain waste cooking oil (WCO) was developed. This method is based on the determination of cholesterol, β-sitosterol, and campesterol in vegetable oils and WCO by GC/MS without any derivatization. A total of 148 samples involving 12 types of vegetable oil and WCO were analyzed. According to the results, the contents and ratios of cholesterol, β-sitosterol, and campesterol were found to be criteria for detecting vegetable oils adulterated with WCO. This method could accurately detect adulterated vegetable oils containing 5% refined WCO. The developed method has been successfully applied to multilaboratory analysis of 81 oil samples. Seventy-five samples were analyzed correctly, and only six adulterated samples could not be detected. This method could not yet be used for detection of vegetable oils adulterated with WCO that are used for frying non-animal foods. It provides a quick method for detecting adulterated edible vegetable oils containing WCO.

A simple and quick method for the determination of 14C in ethanol has been developed, using an ultra low-level liquid scintillation counter. I have studied factors influencing the lower limit of detection and have shown that liquor can be measured directly without pretreatment. Results of measurements on Austrian wines are presented and compared with results obtained from tritium measurements. The applicability and limitations of the results to age determination are discussed.
