Abstract A method for the multiresidue analysis of 16 organochlorine insecticides in mussel tissue was developed. The method was based on the microwave-assisted extraction of the mussel tissue by the use of acetonitrile followed by the solid phase extraction (SPE) cleanup of the extracts and subsequent analysis by GC/MS in the selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode. Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) operational parameters (extraction temperature and time, extractant volume) were optimized with respect to extraction efficiency of the target compounds. Recoveries >70 % with percent relative standard deviation (RSD%)
