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

Alachlor is a chloroacetanilide herbicide used to control annual grasses and broadleaf weeds primarily in corn and soybean crops. It is known for its pre-emergent activity, meaning it is applied to the soil to prevent weed germination and growth.

Uses:

  • Agriculture: Primarily used in the cultivation of corn, soybeans, and other crops to manage weeds.
  • Weed Control: Effective against a wide range of weeds, including annual grasses and broadleaf weeds.

Degradation:

  • Biodegradation: Alachlor can be broken down by microbial activity in the soil.
  • Photodegradation: Exposure to sunlight can also degrade alachlor, reducing its persistence in the environment.

Alachlor be retained 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

UV-Vis Spectrum of Alachlor

July 12, 2024

UV-Vis Spectrum of Alachlor. Absorption Maxima: 196 nm, 266 nm.

For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.

Alachlor Separation on Obelisc R Column

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.

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.
