Gasliquid chromatography provides a method of extreme sensitivity for the detection and determination of organochlorine pesticides residues. A single retention-time cannot, however, be regarded as a reliable identification of an unknown compound. A "clean-up" procedure is described by which interference is virtually eliminated, and a technique is proposed in which the change in retention-time after simple chemical reactions provides confirmation of the identity of a pesticide.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
