A method based on matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) and SPE to determine 20 organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in fish tissues (muscle and liver) was optimized in terms of the sorbents and elution solvents used for the analysis. The following analytical components were evaluated: ENVI-CarbTM and ENVI-18 as dispersing agents, Florisil and Florisil over alumina as cleanup adsorbents, and hexane and hexane-ethyl acetate (80 + 20) as elution solvents. The pesticides were determined by GC with electron capture detection.
