[Determination of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium residues in rice by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry based on QuEChERS].

A method was developed for the determination of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium residues in rice by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) coupled with modified QuEChERS. The samples were extracted with acidified acetonitrile, and then purified by octadecylsilane bonded silica (C) adsorbents. The analytes were separated on a ZORBAX SB C column through a gradient elution using 0.1% (v/v) aqueous formic acid aqueous containing 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate and acetonitrile as mobile phases. Positive electrospray ionization (ESI) was used. Qualitative work was performed using selected dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (dynamic MRM) mode. Quantization was performed using external standard method. The results showed good linearities of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium with correlation coefficients () not less than 0.996. The limits of detection (LODs) of the method were 0.8 μ g/kg for pyriminobac-methyl, and 3 μ g/kg for bispyribac-sodium. The mean spiked recoveries of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium at three spiked levels were 76.6%-85.6% and 73.0%-86.7%, respectively, and the relative standard deviations (RSDs) of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium were 0.9%-3.4% and 1.2%-5.5%, respectively. This method is simple, rapid, sensitive, and suitable for the simultaneous determination of pyriminobac-methyl and bispyribac-sodium in rice.
