The analysis of the degradation products of chemical warfare (CW) agents has been a challenge to analysts. The low volatility of these compounds makes them unsuitable for direct gas chromatography analysis without prior derivatization. Lack of a chromophore causes difficulties with classic detection

## Abstract An HPLC non‐aqueous reversed‐phase separation system was adapted for analyzing insect triacylglycerols (TAG). The method uses two conventional Nova‐Pak C18 columns connected in series, for a total length of 45 cm. The mobile phase gradient is mixed from acetonitrile and 2‐propanol, and
Capillary liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is usually performed using electrospray ionization. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) has not been used since the flow rates involved (1-10 µL/min) are too low to effect ionization with a standard APCI source. Using a 320 µm ؋ 1
Malachite green (MG), a traditional agent used in aquaculture, is structurally related to other carcinogenic triphenylmethane dyes. Although MG is not approved for use in aquaculture, its low cost and high efficacy make illicit use likely. We developed sensitive and specific methods for determinatio
