Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present two simplified methods which involve inexpensive equipment and
which can be applied by all analyst who have to determine chlormequat residues in pears. The two methods
use the extraction with methanol and purification by formation of ion-pair with sodium tetraphenylborate.
A first method is a high-performance thin layer chromatography (HPTLC), the second is high-performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) with conductimetric detector. The results obtained for the same samples by
the two methods are quite comparable. These two methods are rapid and particularly the thin-layer
chromatography.
