Evaluation of C18 solid-phase extraction cartridges for the isolation of select pesticides and metabolites
1997
Novak, J.M. | Watts, D.W.
Nine different C-18 solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges were evaluated for their efficiency at extracting nine pesticides and two s-triazine metabolites from spiked deionized water samples. The SPE cartridges were found to contain nitrogen (N) and/or phosphorus (P) contaminants and varied in their extraction efficiency for certain pesticides and metabolites. Four of the nine SPE cartridges gave acceptable (70 to 120%) pesticide and metabolite recovery percentages, while five cartridges had marginal (50 to 70%) to poor ( lt 50%) recoveries. Statistical analyses showed that the poor to marginal recoveries found for three compounds could not be explained by considering several indigenous chemical and physical traits of the cartridge. It is suggested that proper SPE cartridge selection for pesticide recovery should be evaluated using several different cartridges.
