[Multi-residue determination of 15 phenylurea herbicides in vegetables using solid phase extraction and online post-column ultraviolet decomposition-fluorescent derivatiztion-high performance liquid chromatography].
A high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for multi-residue analysis of phenylurea herbicides in vegetables was developed. The sample was extracted with acetonitrile and cleaned up by solid phase extraction (SPE) using a Florisil cartridge. The target compounds were separated on a C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) and detected by a fluorescence detector (FLD) after online post-column ultraviolet (UV) decomposition with a UV lamp with 254 nm wavelength and fluorescent derivatization. The elution gradient, sample pretreatment and conditions of decomposition and derivatization were also studied. The elution gradient was as follows: the mobile phase started with 70% A (water) and 30% B (acetonitrile), which was increased linearly to 50% B in 15 min, and increased 90% B in the next 15 min and held for 2 min, then returned to the initial conditions in 0.5 min. The column was equilibrated for 10 min at 25 degrees C. The flow rate was 0.75 mL/min for HPLC and 0.2 mL/min for derivatization reagent. In the linear ranges of concentrations, the correlation coefficients were between 0.998 6 and 1.0000. The 15 herbicides were measured in fortified onion, spinach and cucumber samples at three spiked levels, the average recoveries (n=3) were in the range of 75.3%-121.6% with relative standard deviations of 0.4%-11.6%. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.005-0.05 mg/kg. The method is simple, sensitive, selective and qualified for phenylurea herbicide multi-residue analysis.
