title: Chromatographic identification of pesticides.
abstract: The chromatographic properties of 51 common pesticides have been measured using seven different chromatographic systems involving gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with diode-array spectrophotometric detection and thin-layer chromatography (TLC) with different spray reagents. Correlation coefficients were calculated for combinations of all systems. The best combination of the chromatographic systems examined for the identification of an unknown compound is GLC on OV-17, HPLC on ODS-Hypersil with acetonitrile-water as eluent and TLC using an isooctane-ethyl acetate solvent system.
