HPLC Method for Analysis of Metalaxyl on Newcrom B Column on Alltesta™
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Metalaxyl (UV)
Metalaxyl , also known as methyl N-(methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-xylyl)-DL-alaninate, is a systemic fungicide with the chemical formula C15H21NO4 . It is used to control Pythium and Phytophthora in vegetables. It has suffered a resistance problem going back to the 1980s.
Metalaxyl (UV) can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom B stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with ammonium formate as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
