Abstract: | The combination of a programmable temperature vaporisation (PTV) injector with resistive heating GC (RH-GC), a form of fast GC, has been applied to the analysis of organophosphorus (OP) pesticides. The PTV injector was optimised in the 'at-once' solvent vent mode for the injection of ethyl acetate (10-40 microL) or ACN (10 microL). The short RH-GC column (5 m x 0.25 mm ID) with fast temperature ramps (up to 153 degrees C/ min) allowed the separation of a total of 20 OP pesticides in less than 6 min. Average recoveries between 67 and 119% were obtained for pesticides spiked at 0.01 mg/kg into apple and pear matrix. Extraction of orange juice with ACN provided higher recoveries (92-104%) for methamidophos, acephate and omethoate compared to ethyl acetate (62-73%). Results for analysis of OP pesticides in samples containing incurred residues were in good agreement with those obtained using GC-MS. The overall method was rapid, allowing 20 samples to be analysed in 4 h. |
