Popis: A miniaturized methodology was developed and applied to the determination of fourteen organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) in mussel samples. This approach was based on matrix solid phase dispersion that enabled to perform extraction and clean-up of the sample at the same step. Subsequently, the extracts were readily analyzed by gas chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry. The extraction and clean-up parameters, amounts of sample, drying agent (anhydrous sodium sulfate) and dispersant agent (Florisil) and solvent volume and polarity (mixture) were optimized by using a fractional factorial design 25–1. Four of five factors, namely, sample and Florisil amounts, solvent volume and solvent mixture, were statistically significant for some of OCPs. The analytical performance demonstrated a broad linear range (R2 < 0.998), recoveries around 85% and relative standard deviation below 7%. The methodology was applied to the analysis of three mussel samples coming from Rias of Ferrol and A Coruna in Galicia coast (NW, Spain).
