Rapid Determination of Carbaryl Residues in Honeybees by High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography

Abstract
Summary A rapid high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the separation and quantitative estimation of carbaryl and 1-naphthol residues in honeybees. Clean-up on a Florisil column after extraction of carbaryl and its derivatives removes many sources of interference associated with biological material. The chromatographic conditions of the analyses are described.
