HPLC Method for Analysis of Alachlor on Primesep 100 Column


 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
