The optimum conditions for the half-life time and residual analysis of the iminoactadine triacetate fungicide on soils were investigated by using the gas chromatography. Iminoctadine triacetate(IOTA) was extracted from soils with 2.0 M-NaOH/methanol and chloroform. The extracted IOTA was derivatized to pyrimidine hexafluroacetylacetone by the acetylation and analyzed with GC/ECD after elimination of moisture and impurities on the Sep-Pak column. From the standard addition experiments with 0.1 and 1.0 ppm, the average recoveries were ranged from 83.8 to 93.2 % and the detection limit was 0.005 ppm. The half-life time of iminoctadine triacetate in the silty clay was 30 days in the laboratory and 19.5 days in the field test whereas it was 27 days and 17.5 days for each in case of silty loam.

An analytical method for the determination of cephalexin (CEX) in bovine tissues (muscle, liver, kidney and fat tissues) was developed and validated using liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Tissue samples were extracted by the liquid-liquid extraction based on 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA). The chromatographic separation was achieved on a reverse phase $C_{18}$ column with gradient elution using a mobile phase of 20 mM hexafluroacetylacetone (HFAC)/50% acetonitrile (40:60). The procedure was validated according to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guideline determining accuracy, precision, and limit of detection. Mean recoveries of CEX from spiked edible tissues ($6{\sim}1,500{\mu}g/kg$) were 83.9~106.8%, and the relative standard deviation was between 2.3 and 14.8%. Linearities were obtained with the correlation coefficient ($r^2$) of > 0.999. Limit of detection and limit of quantification for the investigated CEX were 2~10 and $6{\sim}30{\mu}g/kg$, respectively. This method was reliable, sensitive, economical and suitable for routine monitoring of CEX residues in bovine edible tissues.
