Column switching techniques in the liquid chromatographic analysis of organochlorine pesticides in milk.
A system is described for the analysis of organochlorine pesticides in milk by high-performance liquid chromatography. Sample clean-up, separation of pesticides from milk fat and quantification of both fat and pesticides are carried out on-column using column switching and backflushing techniques. The combination of liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection results in a detection limit of approximately 0.1 ppm pesticide in milk fat.
