Hyphenated gas chromatography (GC) (Chaturvedi & Nanda, 2010; Coleman III & Gordon, 2006) mainly refers to the coupling of the high-performance separation technique of gas chromatography with 1) information-rich and sophisticated GC detectors which otherwise can be mostly operated as a stand-alone instrument for chemical analysis, and 2) automated online sample preparation systems. The term “hy...

We describe a micromethod for measuring hexachlorophene by use of gas-liquid chromatography with a 63Ni electron capture detector. The procedure requires 100 micronl of blood for extractions of hexachlorophene, and dichlorophene is added as an internal standard. CV is 3.4% over the concentration range of 500 to 1300 microng of hexachlorophene per liter of whole blood. This procedure permits rep...

We used 100 microliters of plasma for the determination of diazepam. After the internal standard, prazepam, is added, the serum is directly extracted with diethyl ether, the extract is evaporated, the residue is dissolved in ethanol, and the drug is measured by gas-liquid chromatography, with use of an electron capture detector. With this procedure, 2.5 ng of diazepam in the sample can be speed...

In this study, the efficiency of a clean-up method by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) for the separation of pesticides from lanolin is analyzed. The pesticides analyzed belong to two different families, organophosphorous and synthetic pyrethroids. Lanolin, a standard mixture of the pesticides, and a lanolin-pesticides mixture are injected in a GPC column. The recoveries and elution times fr...
