“…Pymetrozine residues are usually extracted from different matrices using acetonitrile (Camino-Sanchez et al, 2010;Dias et al, 2013;Zhang, Zhang, Xu, Li, & Wang, 2015) and methanol (Hong, Cho-Rong, Jong-Sung, & Kyu-Seung, 2011). The extracts were cleaned up using solid-phase extraction (Zhao et al, 2014) or liquid-liquid partitioning with organic solvent such as dichloromethane (Zhang et al, 2015), ethyl acetate (Hong et al, 2011), or dispersive solid-phase extraction (Cabizza, Satta, Falconi, Onano, & Uccheddu, 2007). The commonly used analytical instruments for pymetrozine are HPLC (De, Commissati, Gritti, Catellani, & Suman, 2015;Hong et al, 2011); LC-MS/MS (Camino-Sanchez et al, 2010;Dias et al, 2013;Fernandes et al, 2014) and GC (Jang et al, 2014).…”
