High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Carbendazim on Primesep 100 by SIELC Technologies.
Carbendazim is a fungicide with the chemical formula C9H9N3O2. It is widely used to control a variety of fungal diseases in crops. Controls a wide range of fungi, including those causing powdery mildew, leaf spots, and root rot. It acts by inhibiting the development of fungi. It is used to treat fruits and vegetables after harvest to prevent spoilage during storage and transport and is applied to seeds before planting to protect against soil-borne fungal infections. It disrupts microtubule formation during mitosis, which prevents cell division and growth of the fungi.
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.
