HPLC Analysis of Azinphos-ethyl

Azinphos-ethyl is an organophosphate insecticide similar to Azinphos-methyl which was developed during World War II as a nerve agent. Due to risk concerns for farm workers and aquatic ecosystems AZM use was phased-out by the EPA in 2012. AZM is on the EURL–SRM list of target pesticides in cereals and feeding stuffs. Azinphos-ethyl was retained on Obelisc R, a mixed-mode HPLC column which contains ionic groups and hydrophobic chain. Method is LC/MS compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing azinphos-ethyl and other organophosphate insecticides.

Application Column

Obelisc R

SIELC has developed the Obelisc™ columns, which are mixed-mode and utilize Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). These cost-effective columns are the first of their kind to be commercially available and can replace multiple HPLC columns, including reversed-phase (RP), AQ-type reversed-phase, polar-embedded group RP columns, normal-phase, cation-exchange, anion-exchange, ion-exclusion, and HILIC (Hydrophilic Interaction Liquid Chromatography) columns. By controlling just three orthogonal method parameters - buffer concentration, buffer pH, and organic modifier concentration - users can adjust the column properties with pinpoint precision to separate complex mixtures.
