High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of carbaryl and 1-naphthol in biological fluids.
A simple and sensitive method for the simultaneous analysis of carbaryl and 1-naphthol in whole blood by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection is described. Spiked blood (heparinized) containing an internal standard was hemolyzed and extracted with ethyl acetate. After centrifugation the extractant was removed and taken to dryness. Reconstitution and subsequent high-performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence analysis yielded linear standard curves for carbaryl and 1-naphthol. Linear response vs. concentration profiles were obtained for carbaryl and 1-naphthol extracted from buffer solutions as well. A simple chemical hydrolysis study of carbaryl is included to illustrate the effectiveness of the extraction procedure and assay.
