Individual stock standard solutions (1 mg/L) of OCPs were prepared by dissolving an accurate weight of each pesticide in acetonitrile. Analytical grade methanol, hexane, acetone and acetonitrile were supplied by Merck (Mumbai, India). Water was deionized (Riviera, SCHOTT DURAN, Mainz, Germany) and filtered using 0.45-µm Nylon 6,6 membranes (Rankem, New Delhi, India) filtration assembly (Perfit, India). Working standard solutions were prepared daily by serial dilution of the individual stock solution with acetonitrile. An intermediate stock standard mixture was prepared by mixing the appropriate volumes of individual stock solutions and diluted with highly purified water to a required concentration.

Ultrapure CO2 in cylinders with a dip tube was provided by AGA industrial gases (Lidingö, Sweden). Methanol and n-heptane of chromatographic grade were purchased from VWR BDH Chemicals (Gdańsk, Poland) and Fisher Chemicals (Loughborough, UK), respectively. Analytical grade standards including atrazine, 2,4´-DDD, 4,4´-DDT and endrin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (Buchis, Switzerland). The stock solution was prepared by weighing 2.5 mg of each standard and dissolving in a small amount of ethyl acetate, and the resulting solution was diluted with methanol in a 25 mL volumetric flask and stored at −20 °C. Mixed working standard solutions, 10 mg L−1, were prepared by proper dilution of the stock solution with methanol once per week. This working solution was used during method development and validation. A 1.0 g onion sample was spiked at 500 µg kg−1 for each pesticide and air dried at room temperature for 24 h before extraction in order to achieve as much adsorption of the pesticides to the sample matrix as possible.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
