  [Apparatus]
Liquid chromatograph/mass spectrometer (LC/MS): LC/MS capable of selective ion monitoring (SIM) using an electrospraying ion source. When a liquid chromatograph/tandem mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS) is used, perform multiple reaction monitoring (MRM).

[Sample preparation]
Place 100 ml water and 2 g sample5 in the essential oil distillator, add 3 ml hexane and 50 ng internal standard (m-OP-d5), and reflux for an hour. Concentrate the hexane layer obtained6 to dryness in a centrifugal evaporator7, add 1 ml methanol, and dissolve ultrasonically to obtain the sample solution.

[Operation]
Analysis by LC/MS
(i) LC/MS conditions (typical)
Column for analysis: C18 Reverse phase column, 2.0 mm i.d., 100 mm long, grain size 5 μm8
Column temperature: 40℃
Mobile phase for analysis: Water:acetonitrile (gradient elution with 0.02% ammonium acetate9: 30:70 (8 min) -> 5:95 (10 min) -> 5:95 (20 min))
Flow rate of mobile phase: 0.2 ml/min
Quantity injected: 30 μl
Ionization: Electrospray ionization, negative mode
MS monitor ions: m/z = 219 (NP), m/z = 224 (m-OP-d5)

(ii) Qualitative and quantitative analysis
Confirm that the SIM peak (m/z = 219) permits separation of the base line, and use the area of the peak for quantitation using the internal standard. Construct a calibration curve over a concentration range of 1 to 100 ppb. This range may be expanded if samples of higher concentrations are to be analyzed.
