Uv-Vis Spectrum of Pirimicarb
February 18, 2026
Access the UV-Vis Spectrum SIELC Library

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Pirimicarb check our HPLC Applications library
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.
For some compounds, the UV-Vis Spectrum is affected by the pH of the mobile phase. The spectra presented here are measured with an acidic mobile phase that has a pH of 3 or lower.
HPLC Retention of Pirimicarb on Primesep 100 and Obelisc R
September 14, 2015

Pirimicarb is an insecticide that controls aphids on vegetable, cereal, and orchard crops. A carbamate insecticide, pirimicarb inhibits activity of the hydrolase acetylcholinesterase. Pirimicarb is a target pesticide in the EURL (European Union Reference Laboratory) EUPT-FF9 2015 a proficiency test for the analysis of a over a hundred pesticides. Primesep 100 and Obelisc R were used to retain pirimicarb and separate it from impurities. Primesep 100 contains embedded acidic ion-pairing groups and 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 pirimicarb, other organophosphate insecticides, and dozens of other pesticides.

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.
