Diazinon is a nonsystemic organophosphate insecticide developed in the early 1950’s. It was heavily used as an all-purpose indoor/outdoor home pesticide, but was banned for home use in 2004. The thiophosphoric ester in diazinon can form toxic phosphine gases and phophorus oxides. The EURL included diazinon as a target pesticide for the EUPT-CF9. Obelisc R was used to retain diazinon and separate it from impurities. Obelisc R contains embedded ionic and hydrophobic groups which can assist in fine tuning separations. Method is LC/MS compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing diazinon 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.
