HPLC Method for Analysis of Paraquat on Obelisc R by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Paraquat
Paraquat is a widely used, non-selective herbicide known for its high efficacy in controlling a wide range of weeds. It has been an important tool in agriculture since its introduction in the mid-20th century. However, its use is accompanied by significant safety concerns due to its high toxicity.
Paraquat can be retained and analyzed on a Obelisc R mixed-mode stationary phase column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and a ammonium format as a buffer. This analysis method can be detected an Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD), or any other evaporative detection method (CAD, ESI-MS)
