I am going to analysis of fish samples for organo-chlorine pesticides residues. I have only GC-ECD detector. As well I wish to use the QuEChERS method. Here we havent facility to access AOAC etc. So, any one can help me to find the detail (step by step) method (AOAC or EU or any standard methods) for above analysis?
GC-ECD is the most commonly used technique for organochlorine pesticides quantitation. In the case of fish tissues, sample preparation is critical. You mentioned about QuEChERS method, if you are willing to use other methods, you may try methods described in the following publications: Marine Pollution Bulletin, (2001) 42, 246-250. and Environmental Pollution (1993) 81, 31-39. Estuaries (1997) 20, 700-709 (US EPA Method).
@Prof. Loganathan: Thanks for the nice and details reply. The availability of human resources and chemicals, I wish to follow the Quechers method. If you have that standard methods, please sent me
try my method on PCB in fish. Food Chemistry 192(2016)900-906 or look at my profile.
