Holm A, Molander P, Lundanes E, Greibrokk T: Determination of rotenone in river water utilizing packed capillary column switching liquid chromatography with UV and time-of-flight mass spectrometric detection. J Chromatogr A. 2003 Jan 3;983(1-2):43-50.
Fast and sensitive packed capillary column switching liquid chromatography methodology has been developed for the determination of the pesticide rotenone in river water. Sample volumes of up to 1 ml are loaded onto a 23 x 0.25 mm, 5 microm Kromasil C18 packed capillary precolumn using a noneluting solvent composition of water-acetonitrile (99:1, v/v) at flow-rates up to 100 microl/min prior to solute backflushing onto a 200 x 0.32 mm, 3.5 microm Kromasil C18 packed capillary analytical column using a mobile phase of water-acetonitrile (30:70, v/v) at a flow-rate of 5 microl/min. The method was evaluated using river water samples spiked with rotenone in the concentration range 0.5-50 ng/ml using UV detection. The within-assay precision was between 5.0 and 7.7% relative standard deviation (RSD, n = 6) and the between assay precision was between 7.5 and 8.9% RSD (n = 6). The method was linear within the investigated mass range displaying a calibration curve correlation factor of 0.997. The mass limit of detection was 10 pg corresponding to a concentration limit of detection of 10 pg/ml, using time-of-flight mass spectrometry. |
