Terbufos is an organophosphate pesticide and nematocide used in the production of bananas, sugar beets, corn and grain. It is typically applied to the seed or while planting, controlling many insects, wireworms, seedcorn maggots, white grubs, and corn rootworm larva. Terbufos is extremely toxic to workers exposed to concentrated granules. Two mixed-mode HPLC columns were used to separate terbufos with unique selectivity. Primesep 100 is a reverse-phase HPLC column that contains embedded acidic ion-pairing groups. Obelisc R retains compounds with embedded hydrophobic chains and multiple ion-pairing groups. Method can be used to retain and separate dozens of pesticides and is LC/MS compatible.

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.
