4.2 Standards
Standard materials of pesticides and related chemicals: with purity≥95%, see Annex A.
4.3 Preparation of standard solution
4.3.1 Standard stock solution
Exactly weigh 5mg~10mg (to the nearest 0.1mg) of each standard material of pesticides and related chemicals, put them into 10mL volumetric flasks respectively; dissolve them with appropriate solvents such as toluene, mixed solution of toluene-acetone, and dichloromethane, depending on the solubility of the standard materials and determination purpose, and bring their volume to the scale (see Annex A for solvent selection).
4.3.2 Mixed standard solution (mixed standard solutions A~E).
Based on the property and retention time of pesticides and related chemicals, divide 475 pesticides and related chemicals into five groups (A~E); based on response sensitivity of each pesticide and related chemical on apparatus, determine its concentration in mixed standard solution. See Annex A for grouping of 475 pesticides and related chemicals and concentration of their mixed standard solution.
Transfer a certain amount of standard stock solution (4.3.1) of single pesticide and related chemical to a 100mL-volumetric flask according to grouping No. of each pesticide and related chemical, as well as concentration of mixed standard solution and that of its standard stock solution, and bring the volume with toluene to the scale. Mixed standard solution is preserved at 4℃ in a dark place for a month.
4.3.3 Internal standard solution
Exactly weigh 3.5mg of heptachlor epoxide in a 100mL-volumetric flask, and bring the volume with toluene to the scale.
4.3.4 Matrix-mixed standard working solution
For preparing groups A~E matrix-mixed standard working solutions for pesticides and related chemicals: add 40μL of internal standard solution (4.3.3) and certain amount of mixed standard solution to 1.0mL of blank sample matrix extracting solution respectively and mix well to obtain matrix-mixed standard working solutions A~E. Matrix-mixed standard working solution shall be prepared immediately before use.

6 Sample Preparation and Preservation
6.1 Sample preparation
After grain samples taken according to GB 5491 are pulverized via grinder, they are sieved with 425μm standard mesh sieve and mixed uniformly; the prepared samples are divided into two equal parts and put in clean sample containers, sealed and indicated with labels.
7 Analytical Procedures
7.1 Extraction
Mix 10g of sample (to the nearest 0.01g) with 10g of diatomite and then transfer them into 34-mL extraction pool of accelerated solvent extractor. Under 10.34MPa-pressure and 80℃, heat them for 5min, extract for 3min with static acetonitrile in two cycles, and then rinse extraction pool with acetonitrile (20.4mL) which accounts 60% of pool body and purge with nitrogen for 100s. After extraction, uniformly mix the extraction solution; for sample with less oil, take half (equivalent to 5g sample) of the extraction solution; for that with more oil, take a quarter (equivalent to 2.5g sample) of the extraction solution, purify afterwards.
7.2 Purification
7.2.1 Prewash Envi-18 column with 10mL of acetonitrile, place the column on fixing frame down-connected with pear-shaped flask, transfer it into the above-mentioned extraction solution; wash Envi-18 column with 15mL of acetonitrile, collect extraction solution and detergent, and concentrate the solution collected on rotary evaporator to about 1mL for standby.
7.2.2 Add about 2cm-high anhydrous sodium sulfate into Envi-Carb column which is connected to the top of Sep-PakNH2 column, prewash columns in series that are down-connected with pear-shaped flask with 4mL of acetonitrile-toluene solution (3+1) and put the pear-shaped flask on fixing frame. Transfer the above sample concentration solution into columns in series, wash sample solution flask with 3×2mL acetonitrile-toluene and transfer the detergent into the columns; install a 50mL liquid reservoir on columns in series, wash the columns with 25mL acetonitrile-toluene, collect all of the above effluents into pear-shaped flask, and concentrate in rotation to about 0.5mL in 40℃ water bath. Add into 2×5mL n-hexane, exchange solvent twice to make the volume of sample solution reach about 1mL, add 40μL of internal standard solution, mix uniformly for GC-MS determination.
