I prepared the samples for GCMS but I'm not sure about the organic phase in liquid-liquid extraction to check the Insecticide degradation with the help of bacteria. need suggestions.
All organic solvents are less dense than water and they constitute the upper phase, except for halogenated solvents, like DCM (d= 1.33 g/mL) or chloroform (d= 1.49 g/mL). Thus, halogenated solvents constitute the lower phase of a biphasic (water/organic solvent) mixture
