isooctane/dichloromethane

Residues of estradiol-17 beta (E2 beta) in the kidney fat of one milk-fed calf were studies using radiometric methodologies. A three-month old Friesian male veal calf was injected intramuscularly daily for 3 d with 333 mg of [6,7(n)-3H]-E2 beta (specific activity: 7.55 MBq mmol-1) dissolved in 2 ml

Detailed studies have been made using different source gases and solvents in a Micromass Quattro mass spectrometer under positive ion atmospheric pressure chemical ionization conditions. The major background ions from nitrogen, air, or carbon dioxide were investigated by tandem mass spectrometry,

The present study focused on the stability of 22 amphetamine impurities dissolved in six organic solvents: isooctane, toluene, ethanol, dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, and diethyl ether. The aim was to find the most inert, and thereby most suitable, solvent for amphetamine profiling. Mixtures of the

The normal phase liquid chromatographic (LC) method for determination of trans- and cis-isomers of vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) in infant formula described here uses an Apex silica column, isocratic elution, and UV absorption detection at 254 nm. Vitamin K1 is extracted quantitatively from the product

A simple and rapid methodology for the analysis of fenbendazole residues in cows' milk, at levels down to 3 ng ml-1, has been developed. Samples are extracted with acetonitrile and centrifuged. The supernatant is de-fatted with isooctane, and mixed with dichloromethane. The separated aqueous layer

A simple and rapid quantitative method for the determination of vitamin E in animal feeds is described. The method involves direct extraction with a mixture of isooctane--1,4-dioxane (80 + 20) followed by saponification. Additional purification was achieved by using a silica gel Sep-Pak. Elution

A simple method for separating and measuring chicken plasma corticosterone by high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) is described. Plasma was extracted twice, first, with isooctane to remove nonpolar steroids and, second, the polar steroids were extracted with dichloromethane. Analytical

Breakthrough volumes, average percentage recoveries, and storage stabilities were obtained for vapors of 8 volatile organic compounds (pentane, octane, undecane, isooctane, cyclohexane, toluene, methanol, and dichloromethane) on a new adsorbent material, Hypersol-Macronet, MN-200. Breakthrough

A simple and efficient method is presented for the extraction, cleanup, and liquid chromatographic (LC) determination of linuron and 3 of its metabolites, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea (DCPMU), 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) urea (DCPU), and 3,4-dichloroaniline (DCA), in potatoes. Samples are

A reliable multi-residue method for determining gaseous and particulate phase pesticides in atmospheric samples has been developed. This method, based on full scan gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), allowed the proper determination of sixteen relevant pesticides, in a wide range of

A collaborative study was conducted to determine selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and their relevant alkyl homologs in seafood matrixes using a fast sample preparation method followed by analysis with GC/MS. The sample preparation method involves addition of (13)C-PAH surrogate

A fungal endophyte identified as Fusarium sp. Tlau3 was isolated from fresh twig of Thunbergia laurifolia Lindl., a Thai medicinal plant collected from the forest of Chiang Mai Province, Northern Thailand. The fungus was grown on a medium containing yeast extracts and sucrose. The fungal metabolites

Nowadays, there is increasing interest in natural antioxidants from food by-products. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant and one of the major carotenoids in crustaceans and salmonids. An ultra-high pressure liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the determination of

Dialkyl diketene dimers are used as sizing agents in the manufacture of paper and board for food contact applications to increase wetting stability. Unbound residues can hydrolyze and decarboxylate into dialkylketones. These non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) have potential to migrate to

A mixture of different (81)Br-labeled polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) was prepared and characterized for its future use as spike for the isotope dilution analysis of PBDEs. The synthesis was carried out by direct bromination of diphenyl ether using (81)Br enriched Br(2) obtained after aqueous
