RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for simultaneous determination of chlorfenapyr and indoxacarb in tea by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. METHODS: The tea samples were homogenized and extracted with acetonitrile. Extracts obtained through centrifugation were cleaned up by CARB / NH2 cartridges, and further purified with SLH cartridges. After separated by DB-5MS capillary column( 30 m × 0. 25 mm × 0. 25µm), the analytes were measured by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selective ion monitoring( SIM) mode and quantified by external standard method. RESULTS: The linear range was 0. 10- 10 µg / m L for both of the two pesticides. The detection limits of chlorfenapyr and indoxacarb in tea samples were 0. 01 and 0. 008 mg / kg, and the quantitation limits were 0. 03 and 0. 025 mg / kg, respectively. The recoveries were from75. 6% to 92. 7%, and the relative standarddeviations( RSDs) were 3. 6%- 11. 4%( n =6). CONCLUSION: The proposed method has good purification effect and high accuracy, which is capable for simultaneously detecting the chlorfenapyr and indoxacarb in tea samples.
