Different detection characteristics of fluorescence immunochromatography method and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for the analysis of cyanobacterial toxins were studied. In particular, low and high limits of detection, detection time and reproducibility and detectable microcystin species were compared when fluorescence immunochromatography method and high performance liquid chromatography method were applied for the detection of microcystin (MC), a cyclic peptide toxin of the freshwater cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa. A Fluorescence immunochromatography assay system has the unique advantages of short detection time and low detection limit, and high performance liquid chromatography detection method has the strong advantage of individual quantifications of several species of microcystins.

This test process on screening method for the detection of residual antibiotics in milk is simple, economic, sensitive to residual antibiotics and was given approval international organs. Thus, this study was carried out the comparison of Disk assay method and TTC-II method for sensitivity and minimum detectable range of antibiotics in raw milk. The results of this study was summarized as follows ; 1. The number of samples requested for treatment of mastitis was 198 samples. Comparison or analytical results among the methods of TTC-II, disk assay and Delve sp was that TTC-II 37 samples(18.6% ), Disk assay 125samples(63.1%), Delve SP 130 samples(65.7% ) reacted positively. Conformity rate of Delve SP and Disk assay was 70%. 2. Detectable limits of disk assay method in some antibiotics were more sensitive than those of official method(0.05-0.0025ppm in the $\beta$-lactams, 1ppm in two aminoglycoside, 0.2 ppm in one tetracycline, similar in one macrolide) 3. For sensitivity of residual sulfonamides TTC-II was much more sensitive than disk assay. Detectable limits of sulfamethazine and sulfadimethoxine were 30 to 50ppm levels. 4. The best medium preservation period is 1-2 days. 5. Concentration of brome cresol purple related to resistance for B stearothermophilus culture was 24ppm/ml. These results show that disk assay method for screening detection of antibiotics residuces in milk is worthy of use.

In environmental studies, decisions are often made on the analytical data indicating certain contaminants as being 'detected' or 'non-detectible.' Since detection limits are analytical method specific, one has to first review the concepts and definitions associated with analytical method systems and specifications. In this study, the experimental analytical values for a series of low level standards (for an ionic species) were used as an example to estimate two different method detection limits (MDL). The scores of EPA's MDL and Pallesen's MDL determined by real analytical scores are 0.0575 and 0.0561 mg/L, respectively for our nitrate data. These scores determined by two different MDL models are roughly similar, while there are apparent differences between two methods with respect to statistical and systematical procedure. However, determination of MDL for one's laboratory provides some practical applications which helps to assure one's regulating authorities that one's measured scores are accurate.

The Prostaglandins were derivatized rapidly with monodansyl cadaverine as a fluorophore in mild conditions. The carboxylic moiety of prostaglandins was activated with diethyl phosphorocyanidate and successively coupled with fluorophore in dimethylformamide at room temperature. The labeling yield was reached about 95% at 15 min using arachidic acid $(C_{20:0})$ as a test sample. This derivative showed constant fluorescent intensity at $4^{\circ}C$ for 180 days. The derivatives of prostaglandins were shown high solvent selectivity with tetrahydrofuran in reversed-phase column. therefore, these derivatives could be successfully separated on YMC pack A-212(S-5 120A C8) column in tetrahydrofuran-based eluents. The detection limits of these derivatives was ca. 500 fmol and determination limits was ca. 5 pmol as injected amount in fluorescent detection $({\lambda}ex.\;340\;nm,\;{\lambda}em.\;520\;nm)$. In this method, the ranges of recovery and coefficient of variation were $93.6{\sim}102.7%$ and $4.3{\sim}5.8%$, respectively.

Several molecular biological techniques have been used to detect virus rapidly and accurately, but these methods have limitations in the early stage of viral infection with very low concentration of virus. We compared the detection limits of IMS-PCR, Western blot and ELISA with infectious hematopoietic necrosis virus OHNV). Four antibodies, rabbit anti-IHNV polyclonal antibody, anti-IHNV nucleocapsid protein monoclonal antibody, anti-IHNV nucleocapsid protein polyclonal antibody, and anti-IHNV glycoprotein polyclonal antibody, were tested to find out the most effective antibody for each method. The detection limit with IMS- PCR was $2\times10^6$ pfu when the viral RNA was extracted before RT-PCR. In the western blot with rabbit anti­IHNV polyclonal antibody one pfu of virus could be detected. In ELISA, 10 pfu of virus particles were detected with the same antibody.

In this study, the detection limits of lower fatty acids in air were investigated by using Dynamic SPME(Solid Phase Micro-Extraction), i.e. improved Head Space - SPME method(HS-SPME). This Dynamic SPME, called SPDE(Solid Phase Dynamic Extraction), is the analytical method for volatile compounds in air with the extraction by using a stainless steel needle of which inner surface is coated with adsorption material and following the gas chromatographic analysis by inserting the needle into a injection port of GC and subsequently, desorption of the volatile compounds into a gas-chromatographic column. Extraction was carried out by passing the sample air through the needle with a suction pump which has been used for a detection tube. The result of measurement for the 6 lower fatty acids showed that the detection limits ranged from 0.10 ppm to 0.44 ppm and the linear correlation coefficients were over 0.99. Relative standard deviations obtained from 5 analytical repetition of a ca. 1.6 ppm standard mixture were in the range of 1.87%~2.47%. This method has been shown to be a adequate for the measuring C2~C5 fatty acids in air in the concentrations of over several hundreds ppb.

Homogenization of quality was important in order to use herbal medicines as pharmaceuticals. To solve this problem, it was important to establish quality standards. Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba has no quantitative method in the Korean Pharmacopoeia. Thus, we have researched to improve the quality evaluation method of Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba with an HPLC. Atractylenolide III and atracylodin were selected as potential marker compounds. This analytical procedure was subject to validation. According to validation guideline of South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drugs Safety, the specificity, linearity, precision, range, quantitative limits, detection limits and accuracy were measured. Because the specificity, linearity, precision, range, quantitative limits, detection limits and accuracy meet criteria of the guideline, the analytic method was validated. With this analysis, Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba and Atractylodis Rhizoma analyzed. As a result, both atractylenolide III and atracylodin appear to be suitable standard compounds. it confirmed that tractylodes Rhizome, similar to Atractylodes Rhizome Alba, could be distinguished.

The aim of this study was to investigate a validation method for determination of tricin in Phragmites communis ears. Tricin was isolated with chromatographic methods and used as the standard substances for quantitative analysis. The structural determination was characterized by comparing their NMR spectral data with values reported in the literature. For validation, the specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, detection limits, and quantification limits of tricin was measured by HPLC. The results show that the specificity was satisfied with retention time and diode array detector (DAD) spectrum by analysis of tricin using HPLC. The limits of detection (LOD) for tricin was 0.84 mg/ml. Recovery of tricin was 98.80~108.22% with R.S.D values less than 2%. Intra-day and inter-day precisions of tricin in P. communis ears were 99.96~100.96% and 99.01~100.40%, respectively. Therefore, application of tricin was validated by an analytical method as major compound in P. communis ears.

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used for the determination of 6 standard solvents (methanol, isopropanol, methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, cyclohexane, toluene) in food packaging materials. SPME method is a solvent-free sample preparation technique in which a fused silica fiber coated with polymeric organic liquid is introduced into the headspace above the sample. SPME method using fiber coated polydimethylisiloxane (PDMS) was compared with static headspace (SHS) method used as a reference. It was found that the optimal adsorption condition using PDMS-SPME method was 2$0^{\circ}C$ for 15 minutes for the standard solvents. Detection limits, linearity, reproducibility and recovery of both SHS and PDMS-SPME methods have been determined using 6 standard solvents. Both methods were characterized by high reproducibility and good linearity. Using SHS methods, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 75.5% to 105.8% with a mean relative standard deviation (RSD) of 0.3% to 4.8%. With PDMS-SPME method, the mean recovery of the 6 standard solvents was ranged from 86.7% to 108.3% with a mean RSD of 0.4% to 2.5%. The detection limits of both methods were the same for toluene, cyclohexane and methyl ethyl ketone; those of PDMS-SPME method were higher than those of SHS method for methanol, isopropanol and ethyl acetate. PDMS-SPME fiber shoed excellent adsorption for non-polar solvents such as toluene, while it showed relatively low adsorption for polar solvents such as methanol.
