    Notes: Summary A novel method for the enrichment of nicotine from gaseous samples is presented. It is based on the sampling of 6 liters of air onto a cartridge packed with 100% polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) particles. The analytes are dissolved (partitioned) into the PDMS phase which results in much better recoveries and reproducibilities compared to those obtained on common adsorbents. The PDMS tube is then placed in a thermal desorption (TD) unit connected to a CGC-NPD or CGC-MS system. The procedure was employed for routinely monitoring air in a hospital. Nicotine was typically found at levels ranging from 5 to 250 μg m−3 (ppb) depending on the location and number of smokers present. Additionally, the efficiency of nicotine filters was determined by sampling simultaneously at the filter in- and outlet and was found to be 46%.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary In this paper, a new type of [60]fulleropyrrolidine functionalized polysiloxane in which the fullerene moieties were incorporated in the main polysiloxane chain was synthesized the first time and used as a stationary phase for capillary gas chromatography. It demonstrated high column efficiency (2600–2866 plates m−1, on a 250 μm diameter column, for naphthalenek=3.1–3.2, 120 °C), a wide operational temperature range (90–360 °C) and outstanding thermostability. It can be used at 360 °C with a baseline drift of 5∼8×10−15A. Benzene homologues, aromatic hydrocarbons, polar compounds such as alcohols, esters, ketones, anilines and phthalic diesters can be seperated well on this column.

    Notes: Summary In this paper, a general peak capacity expression was evaluated using columns containing various packing materials under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions. Differing from column efficiency, peak capacity can describe both separation capability and speed when introducing the dead time into the peak capacity expression. Various factors that influence peak capacity in SGC are described, including particle pore size, chemical surface modification, particle size, column length, temperature, and pressure.

    Notes: Summary Microwave extraction and ultrasonication of dioxin-like polychlorobiphenyls (PCBs) from sediment samples were investigated. After separation of dioxin-like PCBs from a sample matrix on an acidic-alkaline silica gel column, dioxin-like PCBs were determined by GC-ECD, using dual capillary columns. Recoveries of dioxin-like PCBs in river sediment samples exceeded 80% by both extraction techniques. Toxic equivalency factors and their use for the PCB congeners investigated were applied.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary Catalytic fractional conversions of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide over Pt−Rh alloy catalysts in the presence of excess oxygen, under steady-state or non steady-state conditions, as well as corresponding rate constants for the CO oxidation reaction were measured by using the reversed-flow gas chromatographic technique. From the variation of the conversions with temperature, maximum values of conversions were found, which depend on the catalysts nature (Pt content), while from the variation of the rate constants with temperature, activation energies for the CO oxidation reaction were determined, which also depend on the catalyst Pt content. The results suggest a synergism between Pt and Rh in the Pt−Rh bimetallic catalysts in accordance with previous works, showing that reversed-flow gas chromatography can be used with simplicity and accuracy for the kinetic study of the CO oxidation reaction, which is of technological importance for the control of air pollution.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary An open-tubular trap with a very thick film was studied for “full on-line” headspace capillary gas chromatography, and was used as an enrichment trap for headspace sampling. The preparation of the open-tubular column with up to an 80 μm thick film, by combining both static and dynamic coating, is described in detail. The break-through volume for the open-tubular trap of different film thickness, as the loading capacity for HS sampling, does not increase linearly in proportion to the film thickness. A study of the difference between a packed adsorbent trap and an open-tubular trap shows that HS capillary GC with open-tubular trap loses less of the retention capacity, has better resolution ability and higher recovery. By independently and rapidly heating the open-tubular trap, the GC peaks may have higher resolution. Examples of successful analyses, by the opentubular trap with “full on-line” HS capillary GC, include trace aromatic hydrocarbon (1 ppm-100 ppm) in polybutadiene-styrene rubber and trace alcohol and acrylic esters (10 ppm–1000 ppm) in polyacrylate hydrous emulsion.

    Notes: Summary A composite chromatographic retention index system has been developed for identifying polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, polychlorinated biphenyls and polychlorinated pesticides. When retention indices and thermodynamic data of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons on 5% phenylmethylsiloxane stationary phase were compared with those obtained on polydimethylsiloxane a correlation was found between retention and electronic properties. Determination and quantitation of individual contaminants in water and sediment samples from Lake Mecoacán were achieved by capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization and electrocapture detection.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary In this paper, practical considerations of column efficiency, separation speed, thermal stability, and column polarity of capillary columns packed with polybutadiene-coated zirconia were investigated under solvating gas chromatography (SGC) conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. When compared with results obtained from conventional porous octadecyl obtained from conventional porous octadecyl bonded silica (ODS) particles, PBD-zirconia particles produced greater change in mobile phase linear velocity with pressure than conventional ODS particles under the same conditions. The maximum plate number per second (Nt) obtained with a 30 cm PBD-zirconia column was approximately 1.5 times higher than that obtained with an ODS column at 100 °C. Therefore, the PBD-zirconia phase is more suitable for fast separations than conventional ODS particles in SGC. Maximum plate numbers per meter of 76,900 and 63,300 were obtained using a 57 cm×250 μm i.d. fused silica capillary column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia at 50 °C and 100 °C, respectively. The PBD-zirconia phase was stable at temperatures up to 320 °C under SGC conditions using carbon dioxide as mobile phase. Polarizable aromatic compounds and low molecular weight ketones and aldehydes were eluted with symmetrical peaks from a 10 cm column packed with 3 μm PBD-zirconia. Zirconia phases with greater inertness are required for the analysis of more polar compounds by SGC.

    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary It is shown how to estimate the retention times of homologous series members in linear temperature programmed gas chromatography with the aid of a spread-sheet. Both the ease of estimation and the accuracy of the estimation depend on whether the homologue is eluted during the rising portion of the temperature program or the hold time at the end, and also on whether the homologous series is eluted from one injection or a number of injections. When all members of the series elute in the one chromatographic run the percentage standard deviation of the predicted retention times from the experimental retention times is 0.1. When members of the series elute in different chromatographic runs, the percentage standard deviation of predicted times from experimental times is 0.6, compared with an experimental percentage standard deviation for replicates of 0.5.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The efficiency of direct solid-phase microextraction (SPME) was determined for 27 selected volatile and semivolatile organic compounds (BTEX, chloro- and bromobenzenes, chlorinated pesticides and PCBs). The fibres used were 7μm polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), 30μm PDMS, 100μm PDMS, 65μm PDMS-divinylbenzene, 85μm polyacrylate, 65μm Carbowax-divinylbenzene, 75μm Carboxen-PDMS and a new 65μm C8 fibre. Extraction yields for these compounds were calculated under standardised conditions: 75μm Carboxen-PDMS was found to be the most efficient fibre for compounds with low boiling points. Although 65μm C8 can be used for extraction of all compounds studied, in no one case is it the most effective coating. 100μm PDMS and the more polar coatings can be used for a broad range of compounds, whereas application of 7μm and 30μm PDMS cannot be recommended. Inter-fibre comparison revealed significant differences between three different Carboxen-PDMS fibres. The results enable suitable coatings to be chosen for each of the 27 compounds and for substances with similar properties.

    Notes: Summary A capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of cisplatin based on the complexation of platinum(II) with bis(isovalerylacetone) ethylenediimine (H2IVA2en) and extraction in chloroform. The chromatography was carried out on a BP1 or a BP5 column with an FID. Copper(II), nickel (II) and palladium(II) separated completely and did not affect the determination of platinum(II). The method was applied of the determination of cisplatin in a pharmaceutical preparation and blood samples of cancer patients after infusion of cisplatin. The amounts of cisplatin in blood were found to be within 246–283 ng mL−1 with a C.V. of 2.35–4.26%.

    Notes: Summary The use of polysiloxanes with cyano or thiol groups as stationary phases for complexation gas chromatography is discussed. The polymers were obtained via polycondensation followed by polymerisation of the corresponding dichloro- or dimethoxy-silanes. Both the phases were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with were modified by bonding transition metal chlorides with cyano (CuCl2 or CoCl2) and thiol groups (NiCl2 or CoCl2). The phases were examined in order to determine their application to the analysis of ethers, thioethers and ketones. Due to the presence of lone electron pairs on oxygen or sulphur atoms, the compounds should be capable of specific interacting with the electron-withdrawing centre of the liquid stationary phases. A number of retention parameters (retention indices, molecular retention indices and specific retention volume) were determined, which allowed characterisation of specific interactions between the bonded metal and the compound analysed. The results also enabled assessment of the influence of the structure of the compounds on their retention. The measurements were also carried out for the phases with free SH and CN groups as reference phases. The work demonstrates that the phases obtained may be useful for effective separations.

    Notes: Summary A systematic derivation of corresponding equations shows that averaging the pressure and the flow rate of the mobile phase in a gas chromatographic column over the column length and over the time that an unretained component resides in the column, requires the use of three different compressibility correction factors,j 2 1 ,j 3 2 , andj 4 3 . When multiplied by the adjusted retention volume,V R-VM, the Martin and James mobile phase compressibility correction factorj 3 2 , only, produces the value of specific retention volume,V g T , which is connected unambiguously with the thermodynamic phase distribution coefficient,K, of the sorbate.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic assay for the determination of SCH 48973, a potent broad spectrum anti-picornaviral agent, was developed and validated in dog serum. The method involved extraction with organic solvent followed by separation on a capillary column (DB-1) with quantitation by an electron-capture detector. The method was sensitive with a limit of quantitation of 10 ng mL−1. The linearity of the method was satisfactory as indicated by correlation coefficients of 〉0.999 and visual examination of the calibration curves. The method was precise with a coefficient of variation ranging from 2.3 to 13.2% and accurate with a bias ranging from −9.1 to 7.9%. Moreover, SCH 48973 was stable in dog serum after being subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles. The assay was shown to be sensitive, specific, accurate and precise, and reliable for use in pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies.

    Notes: Summary Analytical methods have been developed for the determination of organic pollutants of intermediate polarity in sewage. Water samples are first passed through a solid phase adsorption cartridge. The analytes are then extracted from the absorbent with supercritical CO2 into a small volume of trapping solvent. Finally, the extracts are analyzed directly by capillary gas chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometer. The various parameters (pressure, temperature, type and concentration of modifiers, trapping solvent, flow rate and volume of supercritical fluid and equilibrium time) influencing the efficiency of extraction were studied. Extraction efficiencies for the test compounds are 〉70%, and relative standard deviations are 〈4.6% (n=3). The methods established were applied to the analysis of sewage at the Lanzhou Wastewater Treatment Plant, China. 66 organic pollutants were detected, of which 15 compounds appeared in the list of priority pollutants suggested by the US EPA.

    Notes: Summary A method of extraction, purification and gas chromatographic analysis of five cholesterol oxidation products (COPs) (7β-hydroxycholesterol, 5α, 6α-epoxycholesterol, 25-hydroxycholesterol, 7-ketocholesterol and cholestane-3β, 5α, 6β-triol) has been developed. The method is aimed at the determination of COPs in meat and meat products, in particular dry sausages, where large differences in the content of cholesterol and its oxidation derivatives may occur. Linearity of response of trimethylsilyl ethers was defined. The minimum concentration tested was 2.5 μg g−1 in the injected solution. The main feature of the present work is the addition of a purification step of unsaponifiables by SPE on silica cartridges. Extraction recoveries of COP standard mixtures, performed with or without the SPE step, are evaluated. The introduction of the clean-up step results in high purity samples without further losses in the entire process.

    Notes: Summary The interaction of vinylchloride (VC) with liquid foods, such as water, olive oil and honey, was studied using the relatively new technique of Reversed-Flow Gas Chromatography (RFGC). The RFGC method permits the calculation of the VC diffusion coefficient in the liquid phase (water, oil and honey) and the determination of the partition coefficient of VC between the liquid and the carrier gas, as well as the determination of the Henry's constant of VC in the liquid food. From the variation of the above parameters with temperature, thermodynamic parameters (free and excess free energies, enthalpies, entropies and activity coefficients) were calculated for the adsorption of VC by liquid foods. These are discussed in comparison with the same parameters calculated from empirical equations or determined experimentally by other techniques.

    Topics: Chemistry and Pharmacology
    Notes: Summary The exact definition of the compressibility correction factor,j, has been extensively discussed in recent literature. In this work, it is shown that this compressibility correction factor has several different interpretations; however, the simplest and most useful meaning involves a correction from the experimentally accessible pressure at the outlet of a column to the average pressure in the column. Also, an unconventional definition of the retention volume of a solute in terms of the sample size and the equilibrium concentration of the solute in the mobile phase is presented. This retention volume definition is presented as an alternative to the common definition ofV R as the volume of carrier gas which passes through the column in a period of time called the retention time. In this discussion, it is emphasized that the temeprature dependence of the specific retention volume is determined by the thermodynamics of the phase distribution process for the solute and not by an equation-of-state for the carrier gas. Finally, the conventional correction of the specific retention volume by a factor of 273/T c can be used to correct a volume of carrier gas to a pseudo-standard state of 273 K and the average pressure in the column; however, this corrected specific retention volume has no relation to the specific retention volume that would be experimentally obtained at this standard state temperature and pressure. compressibility correction factor, and specific retention volume, were examined with regard to the physical interpretation, exact definition and appropriate standard states to be applied to these commonly reported chromatographic parameters. Such arcane discussions are beneficial to the health of science but may lead to confusion among potential and practicing chromatographers. In order to prevent or at least help ameliorate this problem, the following discussion presents a somewhat unorthodox interpretation of the questioned terms along with a pseudo-physical explanation of the so-called retention volume which is ubiquitous throughout the chromatographic literature.

    Notes: Summary A complex method was developed for the determination of chlorobenzenes in soil and groundwater samples. Samples were taken at two sites in Baranya county, where a mixture of chlorobenzene waste was deposited, causing severe contamination in the environment. Clean-up of these sites demands modern and reliable analytical methods. Several sample preparation techniques were used, such as solid phase microextraction (SPME), supercritical fluid extraction (SFE), and a recently developed thermal desorption method. The applicability of various sample preparation methods was compared by measuring recovery percentages, relative standard deviations and by investigating the matrix dependency of these values. Gas chromatography was used for quantitative determination of chlorobenzenes, using MS, IR, FID and ECD detection techniques. Detection levels were as low as 1 ppt in water, and 10 ppt in soil samples. Chlorobenzene concentration was in the range 1 ppt-1 ppm in water and 100 ppb-100 ppm in soil samples. Identification and calibration of these compounds were performed by quantitative standards. This complex analytical method can be used for rapid and precise quantitative and qualitative determination of chlorobenzenes.

    Notes: Summary Sample pretreatment is often the bottleneck of a tracelevel analytical procedure. In order to increase performance, increasing attention is therefore being devoted to combining sample pretreatment on-line with the separation technique that has to be used. In the present review, a variety of procedures in use today for sample treatment coupled on-line to capillary gas chromatography (GC) is briefly discussed. Special attention is devoted to coupled-column techniques such as SPE-GC and LC-GC (SPE, solid-phase extraction; LC, column liquid chromatography) which are topics of much current interest, also because of their frequent use in so-called hyphenated systems.

    Notes: Summary Steroid metabolites have been measured by capillary gas chromatography in the urine of 38 children aged 3–6 years. The children comprised three groups: those with asthma being treated with Terbutaline (13), children with asthma but not undergoing treatment (17), and control children in hospital but free from endocrine diseases (8). There were significant (P〈0.05) differences between the amounts of steroids excreted by the different groups of children. Terbutaline therapy led to elevated levels of tetrahydrocortisone, androstenediol, 11-ketopregnanetriol and a reduced ratio of androgen to cortisol metabolites compared with those for untreated asthmatic children. We assume that Terbutaline does not have a steroid-like mechanism of action but acts by modification of the activity of several adrenocortical enzymes. We suggest a hypothesis whereby the antiasthmatic effect of Terbutaline could not only be a connected with its well-known mechanism of action, but it might be explained as a result of the modification of the production of certain glucocorticoids and androgen hormones.

    Notes: Summary Poly(p-tert-butyldimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arene-tetramethyldisiloxane) (TBCX-TMDS) and poly(dimethoxydipropyloxycalix[4]arene-tetramethyl-disiloxane) (CX-TMDS), have been prepared and used as stationary phases for isothermal capillary gas chromatographic separations of positional isomers. Retention factors and separation factors for the isomers were measured. The isomers investigated were well-resolved on the two phases. Retention of all the solutes investigated is greater on TBCX-TMDS than on CX-TMDS, probably because of extra dispersive interactions of the solutes with thetert-butyl groups of the phase. Separation factors for closely-eluting isomer pairs are similar on the two phases. This seems to indicate either that the solutes are retained by non-inclusion processes or that if the isomer molecules do enter the cavity of the calixarene, i.e. the solute is retained by inclusion, thetert-butyl groups do not play a role in discriminating between the isomers.

    Notes: Summary Low amounts of triethanolamine, collected in ORBO 53 tubes during air sampling, required the development of a very sensitive method for determination. After desorption and silylation reaction with trimethylsilyl imidazole/trimethyl chlorosilane, the derivative was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry on an Ultra 2 silica capillary column in single ion monitoring mode (retention time: about 6 min). The method has a detection limit of 1–2 pg with a desorption efficiency of about 81%. Linearity of response was ascertained in the ranges 10–100 ng and 100–1000 ng. Short-term method validation was carried out by intra- and inter-day assays on three amounts for each reference calibration curve. All results satisfied the pre-defined acceptance criteria. In general, the whole procedure was easily performed and was appropriate for our needs. Breakthrough volume was appropriate for our needs. Breakthrough volume was determined on authentic samples and was about 40–60 L, using a flow rate of 1 L·min−1. The amounts of triethanolamine found in the samples ranged from 150 to 250 ng (about 2.5–4.2 μg·m−3).

    Notes: Summary Gas chromatographic chiral separation of several chiral 2-and 3-alkanols and diols was studied both in their free hydroxyl and in their trimethylsilyl ether forms. First, the derivatization procedure was verified through the identification of the trimethylsilyl ethers formed on the basis of their mass spectra and optimized to obtain quantitative reaction. The optimized procedure was applied to the trimethylsilylation of racemic mixtures of various hydroxyl compounds. The silylation was found to be highly effective in the improvement of the separation of the individual enantiomers. The major advantages of the derivatization process can be summarized as: (i) excellent baseline separation of the enantiomers of the silyl ethers was achieved in contrast to the parent OH-containing compounds, (ii) the sensitivity of detection highly increased, (iii) the separations do not show any significant concentration dependence and finally (iv) the analysis time needed decreased significantly.

    Notes: Summary A procedure is described for the (non-target) screening of hetero-atom-containing compounds in tap and waste water by correlating data obtained by gas chromatography (GC) using atomic emission (AED) and mass selective (MS) detection. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) was coupled on-line to both GC systems to enable the determination of microcontaminants at the 0.02–1 μg L−1 level in 7–50 mL of aqueous sample. The screening was limited to compounds present in at least one heteroatom-selective GC-AED trace above a predetermined concentration level. These compounds were identified by their partial formulae (AED) and the corresponding mass spectra, which were obtained from the GC-MS chromatogram via the retention index concept. The potential of the approach was demonstrated by the identification of target compounds as well as all unknowns present in tap and waste water above the predetermined threshold of 0.05 μg L−1 (tap water) or 0.5 μg L−1 (waste water).

The chromatographic characteristics including column efficiency, polarity and selectivity were studied. Excellent selectivity for the separation of enantiomers and positional isomers was obtained. The results show that the combined effect between the special caves of β-cyclodextrin and crown ether plays a significant role in the separation.

    Notes: Summary This article describes a theoretical/practical study of the parameters which affect the chromatograms obtained when using a molecular diode-array spectrometer as the detector in gas chromatography. The objective is to offer some rules which permit the identification of the optimum signal/noise relation. To achieve this, we study the effect of the different parameters which affect the noise and how to reduce their impact, as well as alternatives for increasing the signal. All the options tested can be applied by correctly programming the spectrometer with BASIC programs, within reach of any use who has even a small understanding of programming. Finally, we consider the effect that the selection of the acquisition conditions may have on the chromatographic resolution. All the studies are carried out using a mixture of alcohols and phenols.

    Notes: Summary For improved determination of aromatic amines by gas chromatography and detection with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD) a derivatization method based on the bromination of the aromatic ring in an acetic acid medium was developed. In general, all free ortho and para-positions relative to the amino group undergo electrophilic substitution. Separation of at least 30 compounds in a single chromatographic run in 30 min is possible. With this method, 56 aromatic amines were studied and only in 6 cases were no derivatives obtained. Quantitation limits determined from calibration data are 1.2–40 μg L−1 for a 100 mL sample and an injection volume of 1 μL. Previous experiments suggest that both sample and injection volume may be increased to lower the quantitation limit.

    Notes: Summary Recent work demonstrated that the combination of microwave assisted solvent extraction (MASE) and capillary gas chromatography with selective nitrogen detection (GC-NPD) is a viable approach for the efficient determination of triazine herbicides in soils. However, for soils with a high organic matter content or the injection of more concentrated extracts to obtain lower LOD's the performance of gas chromatographic analysis of uncleaned extracts is hampered. This results in both a decrease of the chromatographic response of analytes and a decrease in the life time of the column due to coextracted matrix substances. The effect of various types of soils on the chromatographic analysis of triazine herbicides was studied. It appeared that for the investigated samples with an organic matter content below 5% processing of uncleaned extracts is possible. Samples with a higher organic matter content required a cleanup step. A rapid procedure on 100 mg silica cartridges has been developed using solvents compatible with the MASE extracts and the instrumental analysis. Beside the testing with different standard soils, about 120 samples of an ongoing monitoring program involving three different types of soil (organic matter content: 3–37%) were analysed. The selected compounds atrazine, desethylatrazine, desisopropyl-atrazine and simazine could be assayed in the various soil types to a level of at least 2 μg kg−1. For soil samples with a high organic matter content (〉5%), the rapid cleanup procedure allowed the trace analysis of the triazines and considerably increased the life time of the capillary column. Recoveries at levels from 2 to 50 μg kg−1 ranged from 70 to 100% with RSDs ranging from 5.1 to 9.5%. Confirmation of positive samples was carried out by gas chromatography mass spectrometry.

    Notes: Summary Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) has been combined with gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for the determination of lidocaine in human urine. A polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) coated fibre was directly immersed into buffered urine. Extraction conditions such as time, pH, ionic strength, temperature, and agitation were optimised. The extracted lidocaine was thermally desorbed in a split/splitless injector for analysis with a GC-FID system or desorbed with liquid in a specially designed SPME-LC interface for analysis with an LC-UV system. After optimisation the method developed was evaluated and validated. Extraction yields of 22% were obtained in about 45 min. The reproducibility of the method is 〈5% (relative standard deviation). For five-times diluted urine, linear ranges were found from 5–1000 and 25–1000 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and SPME-LC, with detection limits of 5 ng·mL−1 for SPME-GC and 25 ng·mL−1 for SPME-LC. SPME can be used as a simple sample pretreatment method for the determination of lidocaine in urine by GC and LC.

Their chromatographic characteristics were tested and compared with heptakis (2,3,6-tri-O-pentyl)-β-CD (CD-VI) and heptakis (2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-trifluoroacetyl)-β-CD (CD-VII). It was found that the size, polarity, and aromatic property of the substituted group at the 3-position of heptakis (2,6-di-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrins greatly influenced their chromatographic properties and separation ability. The introduction of aromatic group or a group containing a double-bond may bring π-π interactions between the host and guest molecules, and therefore increased the separation ability of the β-CDs for substituted benzene isomers. Introduction of cinnamyl groups in to the 2,6-3-position of β-CD has a significant effect on the chromatographic properties of the stationary phases(CD-III-CD-V).

    Notes: Summary In our paper we propose a new method for the determination of heats of vaporization (ΔH vap(i)) and the Gibbs free energies of vaporization (Δμp(i)) for individually selected alkylbenzenes, chromatographed on stationary phases of low and medium polarity. The method is based on a new thermodynamic description of the Kováts retention index (I (i)) making use of Trouton's rule. In fact, we attribute physical significance to two empirical relationships, well known from the literature. We can describe thermodynamically the magnitude ofI (i) using two relations, each of them potentially useful for further determination of δH vap(i) and Δμp(i). A comparison was made of the results obtained with the use of our new approach and of those already existing in the literature attained in a completely different way. The comparison suggests that the calculated δH vap(i) and Δμp(i) values are thermodynamically acceptable and hence correct, and the data suit into the series of similar values determined on stationary phases of different polarity.

    Notes: Summary Gas chromatography of polychlorinated biphenyls and chlorinated pesticides in water samples is carried out after adsorption from a 25–500 mL sample, on a cartridge containing 100 mg aminopropyl-bonded porous silica. The clean-up step in which the PCBs and chlorinated pesticides are separated in different eluates is achieved by passing 25 mL of 40% aqueous methanol through the NH2 Sep-Pak cartridge. The PCBs are desorbed with 500 μL ethylacetate, which is concentrated and analysis by GC-ECD. The average recovery, at 1 ppb is 〉97% with a standard deviation 〈2. The limits of detection are 0.1 ng μL−1 and 5 pg μL−1 respectively for Cl3-PCB and Cl8-PCB congeners. In the separation of PCBs from the chlorinated pesticides tested in this work, only the Aldrin is adsorbed for 60% with the PCBs by the NH2 Sep-Pak cartridge. The method described is rapid, simple and reproducible.

New adjusted substance factors are calculated for 33 selected compounds for a new characterization of GC stationary phases in the extended retention model with retention values, calculated from retention indices and b-values of the n-alkane equation. Substance dipolarityD N-factors are separated from πN, the adjusted dipolarity-polarisability.

    Notes: Summary Quantitation of the milk fat content in mixed fats is of interest in food analysis. It can be achieved by calculation from the butyric acid (C4) content in the mixed fat and a mean C4 content for pure milk fats. Alternatively, instead of applying a C4 mean value, the C4 content in the actual milk fat can be used if this reference sample is available. A recently improved analytical method based on gas chromatography of butyric acid methyl ester using an internal standard has been applied to determine the milk fat content in mixtures with beef tallow, lard, soybean oil, olive oil, sunflower oil, palm kernel oil and palm oil ranging from 1 to 90% milk fat content. Within the whole range of mixtures, mean absolute deviations between the determined and the actual milk fat content were below 0.5% and the maximum absolute deviation was not more than 1.0% when using the reference sample. The overall mean absolute deviation was 0.04% for milk fat contents of 1 to 10% and 0.28% for milk fat contents of 10 to 90%.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic method for the analysis of seventeen acids in a water/ethanol matrix is described. The diluted samples were first concentrated by solid phase extraction. Nonanoic acid was the internal standard. A good separation profile was obtained for all compounds, including the isomers: n and iso-butyric acids, n and isovaleric acids and n and iso-caproic acids. The method is fast, sensitive (20–30 μg L−1) and has a good reproducibility (4–7 %). The recovery was in the range of 94%–116% for the medium chain acids (C7-C16). This method allowed the identification of fourteen acids in caninhas and other spirits. The total acid content and the profile of the exportation type caninhas are similar to the ones obtained for several international beverages.

    Notes: Summary The work presents a GC method for the determination of six organophosphorous pesticide residues in cabbage. Chopped cabbage was blended with acetone, then extracted with the mixture of n-hexane:methylene chloride (1:1). The extract was purified on a GPC column packed with BioBeads SX-3 gel. The pesticides were eluted with the mixture of methylene chloride:cyclohexane (1:1) at the flow rate of 0.5 mL min−1. After concentrating the extract was analysed by GC. Nearly 100 samples of cabbage were analysed; trace residues of dimethoate (about 0.05 ppm) were found in 10 samples. The average recoveries of the pesticides were above 80% with a relative standard deviation mostly less than 10%.

    Notes: Summary A capillary gas chromatographic method is described for the determination of major plant sterols and cholesterol in edible oils and fats. In the sample preparation procedure reversed-phase, solid-phase extraction with C18 adsorbent was used to extract the unsaponifiable matter and for sample cleanup after saponification. Sterols were quantitated as their trimethylsilylether derivatives using an internal standard method (betulin). The method was validated by recovery tests and analysis of two reference materials representing vegetable oil mixture and milk fat matrices. Average recoveries of spiked cholesterol and cholesterol acetate in rapeseed oil were 103±4% (n=12) and 101±3% (n=10), respectively. The sterol values determined in the reference materials were found to be in a good agreement with their given certified or indicative values. Applied to edible oils and fats, plant sterols and cholesterol at levels〉20 mg kg−1 could be accuratively quantitated.

    Notes: Summary Residual synthetic adsorbent, cross-linked polystyrene, used in drug purification has been analyzed quantitatively by Curie-point pyrolysis gas chromatography. The peaks of intact polystyrene adsorbent in the pyrogram were used as key peaks for quantitative measurement of residues of the adsorbent in vitamin B1 and streptomycin sulfate. It was shown that them-ethylstyrene orp-ethylstyrene peaks in the pyrolyzates were suitable for determination of polystyrene adsorbent content. The levels of residual adsorbent in the drugs were found to be 〈0.1 %, the value stipulated by the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH). In quantitative evaluation of an adsorbent content of 0.1 % the precision was 3.6 % and 2.7 % for vitamin B1 and streptomycin sulfate, respectively.

    Notes: Summary The development of a headspace GC method (HS-GC) to determine the safrole content in differentAsarum species from China and Europe, using eugenol as internal standard, is presented in this paper. The best results could be achieved by thermostating the samples at 100°C for 30.0 min, adding 10 μL of water to each sample. Optimum pressurisation and injection time showed to be 3.0 min and 12 s, respectively. GC separation was performed on an SE-54 column. The HS-GC results for safrole were in good agreement with those obtained by direct GC analysis of the dichloromethane (DCM) plant extracts. The investigated Asarum samples showed great deviations concerning the safrole content even within the sameAsarum species, e.g.Asarum himalaicum from Sichuan contained 0.0051% of this compound, the same species from the province of Hebei 0.53%.

Detection limits of dimethyl phthalate, diethyl phthalate, dibutyl phthalate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, di-n-octyl phathalate, di-n-nonyl phthalate, benzyl butyl phthalate and benzyl octyl phthalate were approximately 5 ppm. The detection limits of diisononyl phthalate and diisodecyl phthalate, which are mixtures of several isomers, were approximately 200ppm. Analysis of 17 plastic toys revealed that only PVC-toys contained phthalate esters. Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, diisononyl phthalate and diisodecyl phthalate in concentrations up to 40% were present in the PVC-toys.

    Notes: Summary Cyanide can be extracted from whole blood samples by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated fiber. During heating a vial of a whole blood sample containing cyanide and acetonitrile as internal standard (IS) at 50°C in the presence of Na2SO4, a Carbowax/divinylbenzene-coated SPME fiber was exposed in the headspace of the vial for 45 min to allow adsorption of cyanide and IS. The fiber needle was then injected into a capillary gas chromatography (GC) instrument equipped with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The headspace SPME-GC with a Supel-Q PLOT fused silica capillary column gave large peaks for cyanide and IS; almost no interfering peaks appeared. Recoveries of cyanide dnd IS from human whole blood were 3.02–4.06% and 0.21%, respectively. The calibration curve for cyanide added to human blood showed excellent linearity in the range of 0.04–4.0 μg mL−1; the detection limit was about 0.02 μg mL−1. The coefficients of intra-day and inter-day variation were not greater than 7.1 and 9.2%. Good correlation (r 2=0.999) was found between the present SPME-GC method and the conventional microdiffusion colorimetric method. Data on determination of cyanide in rat blood after intraperitoneal administration are also presented.

    Notes: Summary A rapid and new clean-up method utilizing sulfuric acid treatment is demonstrated to identify and quantify the level of organochlorine (OC) and organophosphorus (OP) pesticide residue concentrations in herbal essential oils by gas chromatography (GC). Essential oils fortified with pesticides, that are extracted from herbs by steam distillation are partitioned with 65% acetonitrile/water(v/v) and treated with sulfuric acid at different reaction times and sulfuric acid concentrations. Optimal conditions, to avoid interference from essential oils in gas chromatographic analysis, is 17% (v/v) of a mixed phase ratio of sulfuric acid to organic solvent (hexane/ethyl ether=9∶1, v/v) and a reaction time of 30s. The response of the flame ionization detector (FID) is linear for all pesticides determined. Recovery of pesticides from fortified herbs studied are in the range of 75% to 111% (RSD, 4% to 11%) for OC, and 72% to 116% (RSD, 2% to 11%) for OP. Although sulfuric acid treatment destroys carbamate and some organophosphorus pesticides, this method has efficiently reduced matrix interference and provides a rapid, economical clean-up method with excellent linear data having low coefficients of variation for the GC analyses of BHC isomers, DDD, DDE, DDT, chlorothalonil, chloropyrifos, tetradifon, fenitrothion, malathion, and parathion in matrices of herbal essential oils.

    Notes: Summary High-performance liquid chromatographic and gas chromatographic methods were developed for the separation of unusual secondary aromatic amino acids. Amino acids containing 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline, 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronorharmane-1-carboxylic acid and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-3-carboxy-2-carboline moieties were synthetized in racemic or chiral forms. The high-performance liquid chromatography was carried out either on a teicoplanin-containing chiral stationary phase or on an achiral C18 column. In the latter case the diastereomers of the amino acids formed by precolumn derivatization with the chiral reagents 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-glucopyranosyl isothiocyanate or 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrophenyl-5-L-alanine amide were separated. The gas chromatographic analyses were based on separation on a Chirasil-L-Val column.

    Notes: Summary The separation of the enantiomers of the compounds of technical toxaphene (CTTs) on heptakis(6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-2,3-di-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrin (β-TBDM) has been studied by gas chromatography with electron-capture detection (GC-ECD). Enantiomers of eight of the nine CTTs under investigation were separated on this chiral stationary phase. Separations of the enantioners of CTTs have hitherto been achieved ontert-butyldimethylsilylated β-cyclodextrin (β-BSCD). The chiral resolution values and separation factors of the CTTs on β-TBDM have been compared with those obtained on β-BSCD. Although several components coeluted, enantioselective determination of three CTTs was possible in an extract of seal blubber. For each CTT the first-eluting enantiomer was enantioenriched. Enantioselective accumulation of2-endo, 3-exo,5-endo,6-exo,-8,8,9,10-octachlorobornane (B8-1412) in biota has been established for the first time.

    Notes: Summary Triacylglycerols from Idiazabal cheese fat were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (LC) with a non-linear gradient of acetone in acetonitrile and a light-scattering detector. Molecular species of triacylglycerols were predicted by a simple and a multiple linear regression analysis of logk of the LC peaks and molecular variables such as equivalent carbon number of the possible triacylglycerol, chain length and number of double bonds of each fatty acid of the triacylglycerol. Predicted results were confirmed by gas chromatographic analysis of the fatty acids in the LC peaks. The main triacylglycerols of Idiazabal cheese fat contained butyric acid, butyroyl-dipalmitin, butyroyl-myristoyl-palmitin and butyroyl-palmitoyl-olein. The most abundant triacylglycerols were those with even partition numbers of 36, 34 and 38.

    Notes: Summary The enantiomeric resolution of seven racemic sulphoxides on chiral stationary phases has been investigated by gas and liquid chromatography. In gas chromatography the separations were performed on octakis-(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-butyryl)-γ-cyclodextrin (FS Lipodex-E) and heptakis-(2,6-di-O-methyl-3-O-pentyl)-β-cyclodextrin (DMP-β-CD). Both stationary phases were suitable for separation of the enantiomers of the sulphoxides. With one exception for each series all racemetes could be resolved on both stationary phases; FS Lipodex-E was more enantioselective than DMP-β-CD, whereas the latter seemed more generally applicable. Liquid chromatographic separations with Chiralcel-OB as stationary phase were significantly improved by optimization of mobile phase composition and temperature. Resolution factors up to Rs=6 were achieved indicating that the improved separations could now be easily used for preparative purposes.

    Notes: Summary Through a straightforward mathematical derivation it is shown that the compressibility correction factor equals the ratio of gas pressure at the column outlet to the average pressure in the column, $$j = p_0 \sqrt p $$ . Therefore, by multiplying by this factor, the experimentally measured retention volumes can be recalculated to the average pressure in the column. Corrected retention volumes thus represent the volume of the mobile phase under real conditions of chromatography in the column. Appropriate definitions for corrected retention volumes and factorj are formulated.

    Notes: Summary On-line solid-phase extraction-gas chromatographyion-trap tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-GC-MS/MS) has been used for the trace-level determination of polar and apolar pesticides. The SPE-GC interface, an Autoloop 2000, was operated at an injection temperature of 90°C which permitted the determination of thermolabile pesticides such as carbofuran and carbaryl. Rectilinear calibration curves were obtained for the analytes tested over a range of 0.1–500 ng L−1, using a sample volume of 10–100 mL for enrichment on an SPE cartridge packed with styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. The detection limits for the pesticides were in the 0.01–4 ng L−1 range. For a number of pesticides acceptable tandem mass spectra were obtained at levels as low as 0.1 ng L−1 level in real-life water samples. As a demonstration of the applicability of this technique for inorganic anions, bromide and nitrite were converted into 4-bromoacetanilide and 2-phenylphenol, respectively. The reaction products were pooled and subjected to simultaneous analysis by the present method using full-scan mass spectrometric detection. The detection limits were 0.3 and 2 ng L−1, respectively.

    Notes: Summary Gas chromatography with electron capture detection (GC-ECD) for the analysis of methylmercury choloride (MMC) using a packed column and a capillary column has been investigated. The columns were 2% silicone OV-227 Uniport HP glass column and a DB-17 capillary column, each pretreated by about ten injections of HBr-methanol solution. MMC was separated as a sharp peak by the HBr-teated column and determined directly by ECD without derivatisation. The mass spectrum of MMC indicated that halide exchange from chloride to bromide proceeded during separation. The minimum detectable concentrations were approximately 5 ng mL−1 on the packed column, and 2 ng mL−1 on the capillary. Calibration curves showed good linearity between 5–200 ng mL−1 for the packed column, and between 2–200 ng mL−1 for the capillary. Relative standard deviations of peak areas were 0.95% for the packed column and 0.43% for the capillary at the level of 100 ng mL−1 in both cases. The column treatment technique was applicable to determination of methylmercury in fish samples.

    Notes: Summary By participating in an International Hydrocarbons Intercomparison Experiment, a method for the determination of nonmethane hydrocarbons was evaluated. The method involves Tenax-TA sampling, thermal desorption and preconcentration combined with capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detection. Sixty target compounds from C2 to C11 were separated by using a megabore capillary column with a thick film of bonded nonpolar siloxane stationary phase (5 μm, Rtx-1). The unusually thick film in the column was an advantage for resolving light hydrocarbons (C2−C3) at room temperature. The percent difference between the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and our laboratory in the intercomparison experiment is in the range of 0.99%–19.70%.

    Notes: Summary A possibility of extending analytical applications of chemically modified silica gels is described. This involves their utilization for the generation of gaseous standard mixtures consisting of methyl chloride as the analyte and nitrogen as a carrier gas to be used for the calibration of the GC-FID system. N-methylmorpholine was chemically bonded to the propylsilylated surface of silica gel forming chloride of an appropriate immobilized compound which, under certain conditions, undergoes thermal decomposition yielding a single, volatile component (methyl chloride). Such a method of generating specific amounts of a standard substance can be used both for a single point calibration and for checking the accuracy of an analytical instrument in a relatively wide measurement range. It was found that 3.40±0.081 mg of methyl chloride can be generated per 1 g of the modified gel.

    Notes: Summary Multiresidue analysis of organophosphorus, organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides in medicinal plants, gives problems of extraction, purification and detection. Analytical methodologies have been developed for vervain and tested for camomile and peppermint without prior knowledge of the pesticides used in their treatment. Extraction is common to all three pesticide families: acetone or acetonitrile is chosen depending on the particular matrix. Isolation of organophosphorus compounds is performed by gel permeation chromatography. Organochlorine and pyrethroid pesticides are extracted in two steps: gel permeation followed by adsorption chromatography on silica el cartridges. Analysis and detection of organophosphorus compounds is by gas chromatography with a nitrogen phosphorus detector; organochlorine and pyrethroid compounds are identified by gas chromatography with an electron capture detector.

    Notes: Summary Several separation and detection methods for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoked chicken by GC and HPLC were compared. With HPLC and a gradient solvent system, all 16 PAHs could be simultaneously separated and detected by fluorescence with seven settings of programmable wavelength (excitation/emission). The presence of impurities in smoked chicken could interfere with the subsequent identification and quantification of PAHs by HPLC. With GC and a temperature programming method, all 16 PAHs could be separated and the PAHs in the chicken sample could be detected with an ion-trap mass spectrometer even in the presence of fat-or PAH-like impurities. Nine PAHs were identified by the former method while fourteen PAHs were identified by the latter method. The retention times by HPLC were shorter than those by GC, also, the former had better separation for most PAHs than the latter.

    Notes: Summary A selective and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in cigarette smoke by gas chromatography (GC) has been developed. After trapping of cigarette smoke into dilute hydrochloric acid containing ascorbic acid, aldehydes were converted into their thiazolidine derivatives by the reaction with cysteamine, and then measured by GC with flame photometric detection using two-connected fused-silica capillary columns containing DB-17 and DB-210, respectively. The derivatives were sufficiently volatile and gave single symmetrical peaks. The calibration curves for aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in the range 20–2000 ng were linear and the detection limits at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 were ca. 4–100 pg injected. Aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in cigarette smoke could be selectively determined by this method without any interference from coexisting substances. Overall eecoveries of aldehydes added to cigarette smoke samples were 83–110%. Analytical results for the contents of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes in mainstream and sidestream smokes of several cigarettes are presented.

    Notes: Summary A thermodynamic interpretation of the empirical correlation between retention and boiling point for alkylbenzenes in stationary phases of low and medium polarity has been found. The transfer of molecules between the liquid and mobile phases was assumed to be similar to, although not identical with, vaporization of any given pure liquid and characterized using the Trouton's rule. The two equations developed relate relative retentions to solute boiling point and two systems constants under a given set of conditions. The first equation was found to give a better description since it involves fewer assumptions and approximations. Validity of the model was confirmed by agreement between theoretical and experimental values for equation constants although the agreement becomes poorer as the stationary phase polarity increases. The relationships discussed are applicable to all congeneric solutes of low polarity in stationary phases of medium polarity.

    Notes: Summary A rapid method based on gas chromatography which determines parathion-methyl, fenitrothion, chlorpyrifos, dichlofluanid, vinclozolin, chlozolinate, procymidone and iprodione is described. It involves quantitative extraction with n-hexane and determination by capillary gas chromatography using an electron capture detector. Pesticides were satisfactorily separated in 15 min with a phenylmethylsilicone fused-silica capillary column under isothermal conditions. Quantitation was carried out using dieldrin as internal standard. The method seems appropriate for oenological laboratory work because of its simplicity and rapidity. It was successfully used to identify and quantify pesticides studied in musts and wines.

    Notes: Summary A sensitive method was developed for the determination of temazepam in plasma using capillary gas chromatography. After the extraction into dichloromethane-pentane (1∶1), temazepam was quantitated as its O-trimethylsilyl derivative on a capillary column with a63Ni electron capture detector using prazepam as internal standard. The detector response was found to be linear in the concentration range 0.031 to 8 μg mL−1. The detection limit was about 3.5 ng mL−1. The intraday and inter-day coefficients of variation were below 9%. The method was used to determine the pharmacokinetic profile of temazepam in rats after intravenous administration.

    Notes: Summary Cocaethylene together with cocaine spiked in human whole blood has been found measurable at high sensitivities by capillary gas chromatography with surface ionization detection. The drugs could be rapidly extracted by Sep-Pak C18 cartridges with recovery of more than 60%. The calibration curves for both cocaethylene and cocaine using cocapropylene as internal standard were linear in the range 50–300 pmol mL−1 of whole blood. The detection limits of cocaethylene and cocaine were 5–10 pmol mL−1 (0.1–0.2 pmol on column if recovery is 100%). Cocaethylene could be determined for whole blood obtained from rats (ca. 200 g body wt.), which had received subcutaneous injection of 10 mg cocaine hydrochloride and 2.0 mL of 30% (v/v) ethanol 3 h before sampling; the mean levels of cocaethylene and cocaine were 101 and 1230 pmol mL−1, respectively.

    Notes: Summary The stability of atrazine, simazine, alachlor, metolachlor, and deethylatrazine on C18 Empore disks has been determined. Estuarine water (100 mL) spiked at 3 μg L−1 with the target pesticide mixture was preconcentrated on the disks; the disks were then stored at −20°C, 4°C, and at room temperature for periods up to three months and were analyzed by gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Complete recovery was observed after storage at −20°C throughout the period of the study. Losses up to maximum of 10% were observed after storage at 4°C. Higher losses (up to 24% for alachlor) occurred only at room temperature; the coefficient of variation for these determinations (8–11%) was also higher than that for the others (3–5%). The stability of the pesticides was dependent on the water matrix, on storage temperature, and on properties such as vapor pressure and water solubility.

    Notes: Summary N,N-Dialkylhydrazones [DAHs; R1R2C=1N-2N(R3)2] were prepared and their Kováts retention indices determined on 100% dimethylpolysiloxane (HP-1) and 5% diphenyl and 95% dimethylpolysiloxane (HP-5) stationary phases. The physico-chemical and retention behaviour of the DAHs depend greatly on whether R2=H or an alkyl group. A similar difference is observed in the alkane and oxo homomorphic factors of DAHs formed from aldehydes or ketones. The difference is explained on the basis of NMR and quantum-chemical results by intramolecular interactions between R2 and the lone pair of the2N atom. A single linear equation is suitable for prediction of retention indices if parameters are introduced representing resonance structure (bond angle and electron density) besidesI oxo or the van der Waals' surface.

    Notes: Summary Cellulose tribenzoate (CTB) has some desirable operational properties and special interactions with alcohols. When chromatographic separation is carried out at 150°C, the C1–C4 alcohols have enhanced retention and other alcohols are eluted rapidly. Some probe molecules were used to characterize the chromatographic behavior of CTB by calculating the adsorption enthalpy (−ΔHa) between the sample and stationary phase. Separation of aliphatic alcohols was successfully performed on a packed column with a support (GDX) coated with CTB and temperature programming improved the separation of these alcohols.

    Notes: Summary Rate constants for bimolecular reactions in the gas phase, under diffusion controlled conditions, can easily be determined by the reversed-flow gas chromatography (RF-GC) technique. The analysis of the diffusion band by means of a simple PC programme gives directly an apparent, second-order rate constant for gaseous reactions. By varying the amounts of the reactants, one can calculate the true order of the reaction and the true non-first-order rate constant of gaseous reactions. The calibration problem of the analytical techniques in non-first-order reaction kinetics is absent as are other disadvantages connected with carrier gas flow, peak shape and their instrumental spreading. The method can be used for atmospheric reactions and was applied in the gaseous reaction systems: SO2+NO2, SO2+Br2, C6H6+NO2, C6H5CH3+NO2 and C3H6+NO2 with various concentrations of reactants in nitrogen. The effect of the NO2 concentration on the apparent second-order rate constant of C2H4+NO2 at 333.2 K was also studied. Finally, the effect of sun light pre-irradiation of C2H2+NO2 in nitrogen was investigated.

    Notes: Summary A simple and inexpensive detection system for gas chromatography, based on gas-phase, molecular absorption measurements, is presented in which the chromatographic column is directly joined to the spectrophotometer flow cell, without heated transfer lines. A mixture of eight benzene compounds (including methyl, halogen and nitrogen derivatives) were separated and analyzed. Parameters affecting separation (temperature program and carrier gas flow) and measurement quality (wavelength and integration time) were studied and a measurement program designed to modify the wavelength during chromatography. The analytical characteristics of each compound were calculated, obtaining detection limits ranging from 0.5 to 9 μg mL−1. Finally, the method was applied to several synthetic mixtures, with good results.

    Notes: Summary A new analytical method and the method validation for the determination of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) in lake and sea water is presented. An aqueous sample, after evaporation to dryness, was treated with an esterification reagent. The resulting ethyl ester derivates were determined by capillary gas chromatography using a nitrogen phosphorus specific detector (GC-NPD). The response was linear up to 5 mg L−1. The recoveries from lake and sea waters were 59–105 % for EDTA and 86–112 % for DTPA. The run-to-run repeatabilities (R.S.D.) were 2–8 % for EDTA and 4–11 % for DTPA depending on concentration and the reproducibilities (R.S.D.) were 6–13 % and 3–11 %, respectively. The limits of detection for EDTA and DTPA were 3 and 12 μg L−1 in distilled water, respectively. The method is simple to use and reliable as shown by the analysis of samples of lake water that is influenced by pulp and paper industry.

    Notes: Summary Electron capture detection (ECD), low- and highresolution mass spectrometry (LR- and HRMS), and atomic emission detection (AED) were compared for the gas chromatographic (GC) detection of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) present in highly contaminated marine sediments. With ECD, LRMS, and even HRMS, detection was seriously disturbed by the complex matrix of the sediments, whereas AED in the chlorine-selective mode provided excellent PCB profiles without interferences. In addition, GC-AED provided congener independent responses, which enabled accurate quantitation of all PCBs based on a single calibration curve. However, because GC-AED was less sensitive than the other techniques studied, preparation of relatively large amounts of sample (10–20 g dry sediment) was required for most analyses.

    Notes: Summary A solid-phase extraction system coupled to a gas chromatograph fitted with an electron capture detector was developed for the determination of chlorophenols in waters. The continuous system consists of an XAD-2 adsorbent column where chlorinated phenols are preconcentrated and subsequently eluted with ethyl acetate. The sensitivity of the method is proportional to the number of chlorine substituents in the phenol; thus, the detection limit for monochlorophenols is ca. 10 μg L−1 and that for pentachlorophenol about 2 ng L−1. The method was used to determine chlorophenols in treated waters, with good precision; however, no mono or dichlorophenols were detected at the levels afforded by the proposed method.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic (GC) assay for the determination of SCH 44643, an orally active antagonist of responses to both histamine and PAF, was developed and validated for rat plasma. The method involved organic solvent extraction followed by solid phase extraction on aminopropyl column. The separation was on a capillary column (DB-17) with quantitation by a nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The method was sensitive with a limit of quantitation of 5 ng mL−1. There was a good linear relationship between the peak height ratio (SCH 44643/internal standard) and SCH 44643 concentration in the range 5 to 200 ng mL−1. The method was precise with a coefficient of variation ranging from 1.8 to 3.0% and accurate with a bias ranging from 0 to 5.8%. Moreover, SCH 44643 was stable in rat plasma after being subjected to three freeze-thaw cycles. The assay was shown to be sensitive, specific, accurate and precise, and suitable for use in pharmacokinetic or toxicokinetic studies.

    Notes: Summary Comparative gas chromatographic properties of two thermotropic Poly(L-glutamates) with long alkyl side chains (10 and 16 carbons called Poly 10 and Poly 16 respectively) are studied. Their thermal properties were established with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and gas chromatography. They present a cholesteric liquid crystal in a large temperature range. The chromatographic separation abilities of the two polymers in the liquid crystal state were studied using capillary glass columns. Interesting analytical performances were obtained in different fields: isomeric separation of alkanes, aromatics, polyaromatics, volatile aroma compounds and cis and trans isomers. Some differences were noticed in their behaviours; 2 and 3-methyloctane and xylene isomers are separated only on Poly 10 while limonene and eucalyptol are separated only on Poly 16.

    Notes: Summary A gas chromatographic method for the separation of alkanes and alkenes present in coal mine air has been developed using modified alumina columns. The separation was carried out using a GC equipped with a gas sampling valve, a FID and a surface modified alumina packed column with helium as carrier gas. An investigation was carried out into the effects of surface modifiers on alumina. The study examined the change in retention properties on alumina modified by alkali metal salts and the specific effects of the halide anions and metal cations. The paper describes the preparation of the alumina columns and the effects on selectivity of post heating the stationary phase. The study demonstrated that alumina modified with 2% sodium chloride and post heated to 150°C was the most appropriate stationary phase.

    Notes: Summary Organosphosphate pesticides have been found extractable by headspace solid-phase microextraction (SPME), and the best conditions of their extraction from human whole blood and urine samples have been investigated. The body fluid samples containing nine pesticides (IBP, methyl parathion, fenitrothion, malathion, fenthion, isoxathion, ethion, EPN and phosalone) were heated at 100°C in a septum-capped vial in the presence of various combinations of acid and salts, and SPME fiber was exposed to the headspace of the vial to allow adsorption of the pesticides before capillary gas chromatography (GC) with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The heating with distilled water/HCl/(NH4)2SO4/NaCl and with distilled water/HCl gave the best results for urine and whole blood, respectively. Recoveries of the nine pesticides were 0.8–10.6% except for phosalone (0.03%) for whole blood, and 3.8–40.2% for urine. The calibration curves for the pesticides showed linearity in the range of 50–400 ng/0.5 mL for whole blood except for malathion (100–400 ng/0.5 mL whole blood) and 7.5–120 ng/0.5 mL for urine except for phosalone (15–120 ng/0.5 mL urine) with detection limits of 2.2–40 ng/0.5 mL for whole blood and 0.8–12 ng/0.5 mL for urine.

    Notes: Summary A monitoring programme based on gas chromatography (NPD, ECD) using MSD for confirmatory purposes and coupled-column liquid chromatography was applied to the analysis of pesticide residues in surface water from a predominantly agricultural area of Spain (Comunidad Valenciana). Samples analysed by means of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay gave similar results to those obtained by GC (MSD) for the determination of total triazines. The test employed had the advantages of a simple test procedure, short analysis time and high confirmatory value. Nevertheless, the multiresidue character, accuracy and unequivocal identification of individual pesticide residues of GC (MSD) make this technique the most appropriate for environmental monitoring programmes. In this monitoring programme about 200 samples were analysed between 1993–1994. 27 different pesticides were detected in 91 of these samples. The pesticides more frequently detected were dimethoate, methidathion, endosulfan A and B, endosulfan sulphate and pirimicarb. The highest concentrations found were 39.9 μg L−1 of dimethoate, 10.6 of pirimicarb and 10.6 of methidathion.

    Notes: Summary A rapid and effective method is described for the extraction of organochlorine compounds (PCB 153, PCB 138, PCB 180, p,p′-DDE, α-HCH, γ-HCH, ε-HCH and HCB) from seal blubber and pork fat withn-hexane using a microwave technique. Heating of the non-polarn-hexane was achieved using a microwave transformer. The lipid content of the samples obtained by this extraction was identical to that by Soxhlet extraction.
