Abstract
Abstract A rapid and sensitive method of analysis in which high-speed liquid chromatography was used with ultraviolet absorption detection was developed for determining residues of Thompson- Hayward TH 6040 (N-(4-chlorophenyl)-N'- (2,6-dinuorobenzoyl)urea) in cows' milk. The larvicide is extracted from whole milk with ethyl acetate, and the lipids are removed by partitioning between hexane and acetonitrile. After evaporation of the acetonitrile, the residue is dissolved in ethanol, and aliquots are injected into a liquid chromatograph, using methanol-water (1+1) as the mobile phase in a packed column. Recovery of TH 6040 from cows' milk is essentially quantitative, and no interfering substances appear on the chromatogram. The lowest detectable level was 10 ng. Milk from a cow fed 1 mg larvicide/kg body weight daily in the diet was analyzed by this procedure, and no detectable residues (<0.1 ppm) were found over a 15 week sampling interval.
