Rapid determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in feeds by capillary gas chromatography

A simple micro-method is described for determination of 15 organochlorine pesticide residues in mixed feeds. Clean-up of the petroleum ether extract is by basic alumina minicolumn chromatography and quantitative identification is by capillary gas chromatography with electron capture detection. Cyanopropyl-polysiloxane chemically bonded fused silica capillary columns have been used to perform high resolution analyses in short time as well as to overcome possible interferences by PCBs. Recovery, repeatability, and detection limits of the proposed procedure are checked and results are also reported for non random samples of 180 feeds collected in Italy.

Multi-dimensional chromatography using on-line coupled microcolumn liquid chromatography—capillary gas chromatography for quantitative pesticide residue analysis

Highly selective separations can be achieved by utilizing different separation modes in a multi-dimensional (on-line coupled) chromatographic system. The application of such a system utilizing microcolumn liquid chromatography coupled on-line to capillary gas chromatography for the determination of 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-5-pyrimidinol, a pesticide metabolite, in various corn matrices at the ng g^?1 level is described. A comparative quantitative study with conventional manual sample pretreatments followed by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry indicated equivalence between the two techniques. The system offers the advantages of reduced sample handling steps and analysis time, high potential for automation and adequate sensitivity.     

Use of deactivated fused-silica capillary precolumns in pesticide analysis by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection.

The advantages and disadvantages of coupling a retention gap of fused-silica between the injection port and the chromatographic column are discussed. The influence on the peak width and height of several factors such as the solvent (n-hexane, acetone, ethyl acetate and methanol), the gap (length, inner diameter, deactivation mode), the injection volume and the pesticide concentration has been examined. Those factors have very different incidences so, it is not possible to extract a general recommendation about the use of gaps. For this reason, checking its viability in each particular case is more advisable.

On-line multidimensional chromatography using packed capillary liquid chromatography and capillary gas chromatography

The introduction of selected fractions from a liquid chromatograph into a gas chromatograph has been described; however, analyses were performed by off-line experiments requiring collection and reinjection of the separate fractions or by on-line procedures where disadvantageously, only a fraction of the separated peak or a well resolved component in a mixture could be introduced into a gas chromatograph. This disadvantage is overcome by the apparatus and method described in this paper, which utilizes a multidimensional chromatography system employing a high efficiency, packed capillary LC column coupled on-line to a capillary gas chromatograph. The liquid chromatograph (so designed) can act as a highly efficient clean-up or chemical class fractionation step prior to introduction into the gas chromatograph, significantly reducing sample preparation times in many applications. Thus minor components in a complex matrix can be determined without prior sample clean-up, an example of which is the determination of polychlorinated biphenyls in a complex hydrocarbon matrix.     

Multiple short pass glass capillary gas chromatography

Practical limitations of capillary gas chromatography

Glass capillary gas chromatography is a high resolution separation method which allows the qualitative and quantitative analysis of even complex mixtures, which may contain many components–also isomeric–in a wide range of volatilities, polarities and concentrations. The principal limitation of gas chromatographic application is given by an insufficient volatility of the species to be separated. Elevated temperatures have to be applied if the application range is to be extended and to achieve steep peak profiles, i.e. low detection limits at high resolution. The use of elevated temperatures is limited, of course, by the temperature stability of both the solvent (stationary liquid and support) and the solutes. The problems of trace analysis for low volatility compounds at high resolution and its limitational parameters regarding sampling, separation and detection are discussed. The applicability of glass capillary columns in this field is influenced by the following parameters: tailing behaviour; irreversible adsorption of polar and decomposition of unstable solutes; thermal stability of stationary liquid (including the support deactivation); separation efficiency and sample capacity (film thickness). Multidimensional gas chromatography using capillary columns coupled either with a packed or another capilllary column for preseparations may be applied with advantage in the analysis of complex mixtures.     

Fast gas chromatography for pesticide residues analysis

The importance of method development in the area of pesticide residues analysis is apparent from legislative requirements continuously decreasing the maximum acceptable concentration levels in food and water. This covers also contribution in the science in the field of ultra-trace analysis of organic pollutants in complex mixtures. Analysis time is one of the most important aspects that should be considered in the choice of analytical methods for routine application. With this fact, fast gas chromatography (GC) has acquired a real importance in the pesticide residue analysis. This paper provides an overview of fast GC methods for analysis of pesticide residues in variety of matrices at ultra-trace concentration levels. Emphasis is put on the development in the last 6 years.     

Programmed temperature vaporiser-based injection in capillary gas chromatography.

The application of programmed temperature vaporisation (PTV) in capillary gas chromatographic analysis is reviewed. The development of the different strategies as well as the state of the art are described. As the analytes are normally enriched in the PTV insert, the quoted papers are subdivided depending on whether the enrichment was carried out from organic solvents, from water or from gaseous media. Furthermore, the possibilities of PTVs for on-line coupling with sample preparation methods or other separation techniques and their use as thermoreactors are mentioned.     

Ammonia as carrier gas in capillary gas-liquid chromatography.

Influence of helium and ammonia as carrier gases on retention of neutral solutes on polyethylene glycol has been studied theoretically and experimentally. It was shown that the influence of ammonia on the retention varied significantly depending on the solute's nature. For example, the influence is great for C22 n-alkane and it is small for phenol. Taking into account the results obtained by various researchers it makes sense to express an opinion on the expediency of development of gas chromatography operated under the conditions of acidic-basic chromatography.     

On-line combination of aqueous-sample preparation and capillary gas chromatography.

An overview is presented of methods currently in use to combine the preparation of aqueous samples on-line with capillary gas chromatography. Two approaches can be distinguished: heartcut-orientated reversed-phase liquid chromatography-gas chromatography (GC) and analyte-isolation-orientated analyte extraction-GC. These approaches either use techniques in which water is directly introduced onto the GC column, or an indirect approach in which water is eliminated, i.e., by solid-phase extraction, solid-phase microextraction or liquid-liquid extraction, prior to introduction of the analytes onto the GC column. The latter type of approach is much more successful and user friendly, and many applications have been reported.     

Stereoisomeric purity determination of captopril by capillary gas chromatography.

The GC method developed for the stereoisomeric purity determination of captopril is based on the combined information derived from the analyses of the captopril sample on two GC systems, one with a chiral and the other with an achiral column. The limit of detection has been determined to be 0.02% (w/w) for (R,S) or (S,R) and 0.03% for (R,R), with corresponding minimum quantifiable levels of 0.08% and 0.09%.     

Some applications of capillary gas chromatography in the chemical industry

About three years ago, fused silica capillary columns were introduced in the Quality Control Laboratory of the Shell refinery/chemical complex at Pernis. In general, long, thick-film, wide-bore capillary columns are used together with low split ratios and hydrogen as carrier gas. These conditions enable the analysis of relatively large sample amounts, resulting in low detection limits for the minor components without overloading by the major components, while still maintaining a satisfactory resolution. A number of applications are shown, such as the analysis of complex mixtures, the determination of trace impurities and the analysis of residual volatiles in polymers.
