title: Rapid cleanup procedure for gas-liquid chromatographic determination of chlorpyrifos-methyl residues in cat food.
abstract: 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%.
