| Application: | Tri-o-tolyl phosphate may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of tri-o-tolyl phosphate in: • Analysis of tri-o-tolyl phosphate in edible oils by TLC and GC is described in methods FSSAI 02.036:2021 and FSSAI 02.037:2021 ![]() • Surface water and wastewater effluent samples by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry equipped with electrospray ionization (LC-ESI-MS/MS) operating under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of detection. • Human hair and nails by liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). • Indoor air, dust and window wipes by GC-MS/MS. • Outdoor air samples by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-QqQ-MS/MS) equipped with ESI source and MRM detection. |
| General description: | Tri-o-tolyl phosphate is classified under the class of non-halogenated organophosphate esters (OPEs). |
