Abstract Technical grade samples of fenitrothion were analyzed by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) on a reverse phase LiChrosorb RP-8 column, using 3 solvent systems and a UV detector set at 269 nm. All commercial samples analyzed contained >94% fenitrothion; in addition, 9 contaminants were identified and quantitated. Bisfenitrothion was the major contaminant, with average amounts of 2.46% from one manufacturer and 1.17% from another. The second most abundant toxicant was S-methyl fenitrothion, which was present at an average level of 0.71% in one source but only 0.16% in the other. The amount of fenitrooxon was 0.046% or less in samples from 2 manufacturers. Other contaminants quantitated include the 2 demethyl fenitrothion isomers, 3-methyl-4-nitrophenol, 3-methyl-6-nitrophenol, 3-methyI-4-nitroanisole, and bis-S-methyl fenitrothion. The total amount of the constituents quantitated in 9 commercial samples was 99.07 ± 1.81%. By comparing the amounts of bis-fenitrothion and phenols present in technical grade fenitrothion, it should be possible to identify the specific manufacturers of the various products.

Abstract A method is reported for determining zearalenone in corn at levels as low as 10 ng/g. Samples are extracted with chloroform-water and cleaned up by liquid-liquid chromatography, and the zearalenone is detected by a fluorescence detector after separation by reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). Recoveries of zearalenone added to corn at levels from 10 to 200 ng/g averaged greater than 89%. In addition, a confirmation procedure is described which involves sequential HPLC analysis of the sample and a zearalenone standard, using 4 different excitation wavelengths and comparing fluorescence responses obtained. This method was successfully applied to the analysis of 11 samples of cornmeal; zearalenone was detected in 9 of the samples at levels from 11 to 69 ng/g.

We describe a simple, rapid procedure for the estimation of carbamazepine in plasma. Protein is precipitated, and extraction is achieved by the addition of acetonitrile containing the internal standard N-acetyltryptophan ethyl ester. Separation is by reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography with an acetonitrile: water mobile phase, and detection is by UV absorption at 280 nm. Total retention time is less than 7 minutes. Initial results gave within-batch and between-batch coefficients of variation of less than 2 %, and mean recovery of 97 %. The method is free from interference by other common anticonvulsant drugs.
