Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of residues of methanesulfonate of n-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester in fish.
In this gas-liquid chromatographic procedure for determining residues of methanesulfonate of m-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (MS-222) in fish muscle, homogenized tissue is extracted with distilled water, and proteins are removed by coagulation with trichloroacetic acid, centrifugation, and filtration. After careful pH adjustment of the filtrate, MS-222 is partitioned into benzene-ethyl ether and measured by alkali flame ionization gas chromatography. Tissues with known additions of 1-19 microgram MS-222/g were analyzed, with recoveries of 84-95%.
