Carbendazim

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Carbendazim on Primesep 100 by SIELC Technologies

Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode SIELC Technologies

 High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Carbendazim

Carbendazim is a fungicide widely used to control a variety of fungal diseases in crops.

arbendazim acts by inhibiting the development of fungi. It disrupts microtubule formation during mitosis, which prevents cell division and growth of the fungi.

Uses
Agricultural Applications:

Used on a variety of crops including fruits, vegetables, and cereals.
Controls a wide range of fungi, including those causing powdery mildew, leaf spots, and root rot.
Post-Harvest Treatment:

Used to treat fruits and vegetables after harvest to prevent spoilage during storage and transport.
Seed Treatment:

Applied to seeds before planting to protect against soil-borne fungal infections.

Carbendazim can be retained, separated and analyzed using a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis employs an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase comprising water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid as a buffer. This method allows for detection using UV 200 nm.

Isoproturon is an agricultural herbicide with a tendency to adsorb to soils, which leads to it entering bodies of water. In that water, it is highly toxic for algae and oysters, while long term exposure to the pesticide affects the growth of fish. Diuron is a pre-emergent that is used for non-crop areas as well as with many agricultural crops. It has a low acute toxicity to mammals. It can cause irritation of nose and throat.if inhaled and irritation of eyes if comes in contact with the eyes. Acenaphthene is derived from coal tar and has many used such as dyes, pharmaceuticals, insecticides, fungicides, and plastics. It is harmful if ingested, inhaled or comes in contact with skin, and can cause irritations to skin, eyes, upper respiratory tract, and mucous membranes Carbendazim, also known as mercazole, is a broad-spectrum benzimidazole fungicide. It’s used mostly as a worm control agent in places like tennis courts and golf greens. Sometimes it is also used to control plant diseases in cereals and fruits. Primesep 100, a reverse-phase column, contains embedded acidic ionizable groups and can retain Isoproturon, Diuron, Acenaphthene, and Carbendazim. The method is UV compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing similar compounds.

Eight bendazoles are separated on Primesep P HPLC column by combination of reverse phase and ion-exchange mechanisms. Primesep P column can be used when mixed-mode mechanisms, including pi-pi interactions, can benefit separation. HPLC column and method is compatible with UV detection technique.
