ABSTRACT: Objective To establish a method for the determination of trace polychlorinate biphenyls in Spirulina by gas chromatography, so as to investigate the residues of 7 kinds of indicator polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in Spirulina. Methods After extracted with acetonitrile, the sample extract was purified by Florisil column.Under the chromatographic conditions, the analysis was carried out with a capillary column (DB-17, 30 m×0.25 mm,0.25 μm) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, and the sample volume was 1.00 μL. Monitoring with an electron-capture detector, all the target analytes were separated by temperature-programming of the column. Results Good linearities were obtained in the range of 10~50 μg/L for 7 kinds of indicator PCBs with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 by external method. The average recoveries at three spiked levels of 25, 35 and 45 μg/kg of the 7
kinds of indicator PCBs in Spirulina ranged from 90.8% to 112% with the RSDs of 0.526%~3.89%. Conclusions This established method is simple, rapid and accurate, and can be used for the routine analysis for the indicator PCBsin Spirulina.
