Alachlor Separation on Obelisc and Primesep HPLC Columns

August 24, 2015

Alachlor is a herbicide which inhibits the gibberellin pathway. Use of alachlor is banned by the European Union and the U.S. EPA. The EURL (European Union Reference Laboratory) includes alachlor in a pesticide analysis of teas and chamomile by liquid and gas chromatography. A single multiresidue method was developed using both Primesep B2 and Obelisc R analyze many pesticides. Obelisc R contains embedded ionic and hydrophobic groups which can assist in fine tuning separations, while Primesep B2 contains embedded basic ion-pairing groups. Method is LC/MS compatible and can be used as a general approach for analyzing alachlor.

Condition 1

Column Primesep B2, 2.1×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase Gradient MeCN – 10-70%, 15 min,  7 min hold
Buffer Gradient AmAc pH 4,5- 20-50 mM, 15 min,  7 min hold
Flow Rate 0.4 ml/min
Detection UV, 250 nm

 

Condition 2

Column Obelisc R, 2.1×150 mm, 5 µm, 100A
Mobile Phase Gradient MeCN – 10-70%, 15 min,  7 min hold
Buffer Gradient AmAc pH 4,5- 20-50 mM, 15 min,  7 min hold
Flow Rate 0.4 ml/min
Detection UV, 250 nm

Analyzing Compounds Alachlor

 

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.

HPLC Analysis of Alachlor

August 10, 2015

 

 

Alachlor is a chloroacetanilide family herbicide which inhibits parts of the gibberellin pathway. The EPA classifies alachlor as slightly toxic and set the maximum contaminant level at 2 ppb. The EU banned alachlor in 2006. Obelisc R was used to retain alachlor 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 alachlor.
