Simple and efficient method for the determination of fipronil and two main metabolites in eggs by capillary liquid chromatography.

Posted on 16 July, 2021 by fqm302

Capillary liquid chromatography (CLC) with UV-diode array detection has been proposed for the first time to determine fipronil and two metabolites, fipronil-sulfide and fipronil-sulfone in hen egg samples. Under optimum conditions, analytes eluted in less than 12 min. Despite the complexity … Continue reading →
