Chromatographic analysis of cis- and trans-mevinphos in poisoned wildlife.
A method is described for the analysis of the cis- and trans-isomers of mevinphos in baits and avian tissues. The procedure involves extraction of the mevinphos isomers with acetone-dichloromethane (1:1) followed by clean-up on alumina. Bait samples were initially screened by thin-layer chromatography and identity of extracts confirmed by infrared spectrophotometry and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
