Abstract

Abstract A liquid chromatographic (LC) method has been developed for quantitation of cyfluthrin (Baythroid®, Tempo®) in liquid and solid formulations. Cyfluthrin is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Samples are dissolved in acetonitrile and analyzed by reversedphase LC with decanophenone as an internal standard. Seventeen laboratories from 7 countries participated in a collaborative study of the method. Each collaborator was provided with reference standard, internal standard, and matched pair samples of Tempo 20 wettable powder, Tempo 2 emulsifiable concentrate, and Tempo 2 flowable liquid formulations. Collaborators were instructed to use peak area measurements for quantitation. Relative standard deviations for reproducibility (RSDR) were 0.78,0.98, and 2.32, respectively. The LC method for determination of cyfluthrin in pesticide formulations has been adopted first action by AOAC INTERNATIONAL.
