Description Gas chromatography-atomic emission detection (GC-AED) provides a high degree of elemental specificity and, in most cases, compound-independent elemental linearity. This article describes a novel approach to calibration that involves a single mixture of pesticides and exploits the advantages of GC-AED. This mixture has been successfully employed to confirm and quantitate pesticides in a wide variety of matrices through elemental ratio calculation of compound heteroatoms and element calibrations, respectively. The elemental calibration compares favorably with more traditional external and internal calibration techniques.
