“…RT: 9.19–29.41” [ 85 ] Rice, soil 22 0.02–0.76 0.06–2.6 Surrogate: 76- 110 GC-ECD: “Oven temperature program was initially set at 80 °C and held for 2 min, then increased to 195 °C at the rate of 10 °C/min. The increased temperature ramped to 230 °C at the rate of 3 °C/min, finally ramped to 310 °C at the rate of 10 °C/min, and held for 5 min” [ 308 ] Therapeutic tea 17 0.4–5.1 Spiked samples: 89.9–102.2 <12 GC-ECD: “Splitless, the initial oven temperature was 150 °C and was increased to 280 °C at 6 °C/min, RT 22 min” [ 309 ] Tea 20 0.16–2.06 0.54–3.84 80–94 2.43–2.93 GC-MS: “The column temperature programs s were as the following: 70 °C (2 min), 150 °C (25 °C/min), 200 °C (3.0 °C/min), 280 °C (9.0 °C/min), isotherm (10 min), the total run time for the OCPs was 40.8. 70 °C (1.2 min) and the ramp rate was 10 °C/min to 280 °C (18 min)” [ 310 ] Tea 9 60–720 30–2400 75.87–111.56 0.8–9.0 GC-ECD: “Oven temperature program was: initial temperature of 80 °C, ramped at 30 °C/min to 180 °C, ramped at 3 °C/min to 205 °C, held for 4 min, ramped at 20 °C/min to 290 °C, held for 8 min, ramped at 50 °C/min to 325 °C.…”
