Determination of Residual Carbendazim in Honeysuckle Flowers by LC-MS/MS / 中国药师

ABSTRACT

Objective:To establish a rapid and sensitive method for the determination of carbendazim in honeysuckle flowers by LC-MS/MS. Methods:The sample was extracted by acetic ether. The mass spectrometer was operated in the positive ionization elec-trospray ( ESI) mode using selection ion monitoring ( SIM) . The transition m/z 192→160 was used to quantify carbendazim. Results:The method had a satisfactory linearity within the range of 50-5 000 ng·ml-1 for carbendazim (r=0. 999 4), the limit of detection (LOD) was 2. 0 ng·ml-1, and the mean recovery was 93. 2%. Conclusion:The method of LC-MS/MS is sensitive, simple and ac-curate,which is proved to be suitable for the determination of carbendazim in honeysuckle flowers.
