The method was validated and evaluated by comparison with two widely used liquid-liquid extraction methods. The performance was checked by analysis of a certified standard with natural low endogenous levels (CMR 187) and different kinds of milk (skimmed, 2%, powdered, evaporated and condensed) spiked with the 26 pesticides. The procedure was used to analyse 45 commercial milks in which the presence of organochlorine residues had been detected.

The resolution obtained in the SFC-FID system is not always observed in SFC-ICP-MS. Degradation in resolution is due to fluctuations in transfer line temperature. Baseline resolution for the organotins considered is achieved in both systems by using a longer column.
