Rapid cleanup procedure for gas-liquid chromatographic determination of chlorpyrifos-methyl residues in cat food. 1981

R A Simonaitis, and R S Cail, and J M Zehner

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%.

D010573	Pesticide Residues	Pesticides or their breakdown products remaining in the environment following their normal use or accidental contamination.	Pesticide Residue,Residue, Pesticide,Residues, Pesticide
D002415	Cats	The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
