Mecoprop or methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid (MCPP) is a common herbicide found in many weed-killing/fertilizer products. The EURL (European Union Reference Laboratory) placed mecoprop in an Analysis of Acidic Pesticides using QueChERS method. Obelisc R and Primesep 100 were used to retain mecoprop, each with unique selectivity due to multiple modes of separation. Obelisc R contains embedded ion-pairing groups and a long hydrophobic chain, while Primesep 100 contains acidic ion-pairing groups. Method is LC/MS compatible and capable of retaining many different pesticides.

SIELC has developed the mixed-mode Obelisc™ columns to be the first commercially available columns with Liquid Separation Cell technology (LiSC™). This cost effective duo can replace multiple HPLC columns such as 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.
Select optionsThe Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offer a wide variety of stationary phases with an unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds and in multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns are available with all stationary phases and do not require holders. SIELC offers a method development service which is available for all customers. Ask about our special custom LC-phases tailored for specific separations.
