Results are presented that were obtained independently by two laboratories employing solid phase micro extraction (SPME) for the analysis of pesticide residues in honey. The compounds Amitraz, Coumaphos, Cymiazole, Bromopropylate and Fluvahnate, used for chemitherapic treatment of beehives and otherwidely used agricultural insecticides, were extracted using a polydimethylsiloxane fiber of 100 µm thickness. The precision, accuracy, intervals of linearity and detection limits of the method are discussed. Considering the rapidity and simplicity of this technique and, on the other hand, the difficulties arising from its application to a very complex matrix, SPME can certainly be considered a useful tool for the rapid screening of residues in honey.

Abstract
Results are presented that were obtained independently by two laboratories employing solid phase micro extraction (SPME) for the analysis of pesticide residues in honey. The compounds Amitraz, Coumaphos, Cymiazole, Bromopropylate and Fluvahnate, used for chemitherapic treatment of beehives and otherwidely used agricultural insecticides, were extracted using a polydimethylsiloxane fiber of 100 µm thickness. The precision, accuracy, intervals of linearity and detection limits of the method are discussed. Considering the rapidity and simplicity of this technique and, on the other hand, the difficulties arising from its application to a very complex matrix, SPME can certainly be considered a useful tool for the rapid screening of residues in honey.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
