title: Interlaboratory study of identification and quantitation of multiresidue pyrethroids in agricultural products by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
abstract: This paper deals with the different GC-MS analytical conditions adopted by four laboratories in an attempt to confirm the accuracy of the GC-electron-capture detection (ECD) analytical results during the international collaborative study for the establishment of the AOAC Official Method 998. 01. What is especially noted is that two laboratories have conducted comparative analysis of the respective 12 blind samples with both methods of GC-ECD and GC-MS, and the analytical results of the two methods turn out to be basically identical. This fully demonstrates that GC-MS is not only an effective confirmation tool in the analysis of the pyrethroid residues but also of sufficient sensitivity regarding the maximum residue limit of determination prescribed by FAO/WHO. Moreover, its selectivity is better than GC-ECD.
