HPLC Method for Dicyandiamide on SHARC 1 by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Dicyandiamide
Dicyandiamide, also known as cyanoguanidine, has a C₂H₄N₄ chemical formula. It is a white crystalline powder that has a variety of uses from agricultural to mechanical. Though, typically it is found in fertilizers as a nitrification inhibitor. It slows down nitrogen release and and reduces losses from soil.
Dicyandiamide can be retained and analyzed using the SHARC 1 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a triethanolamine buffer. Detection is performed using CAD.
