Abstract:

A method for analysis of chiral diniconazole in Tenebrio molitor using solid phase extraction and high performance
liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-HPLC-MS-MS) was developed. Sample purification and HPLC-MS-MS
conditions were optimized. Acetonitrile extracts of samples were degreased with acetonitrile by liquid-liquid partition and cleaned
up using a Florisil solid phase extraction cartridge before analysis by HPLC-MS-MS in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
mode. The limit of detection of this method was found to be 0.002 mg/kg. The recoveries were in the range of 97.22% to 101.31%,
with RSD less than 3%. This method has the advantages of easy operation, good separation, high sensitivity and precision. It is
suitable to determine diniconazole residues in Tenebrio molitor and other insects.

Key words: diniconazole, Tenebrio molitor, chiral, solid phase extraction (SPE), high-performance liquid chromatographytandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS-MS)
