High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Procymidone
Procymidone is a pesticide and fungicide with the chemical formula C13H11Cl2NO2 . It is typically used to kill unwanted ferns, nettles, and fungi in lupins, grapes, stone fruit, and strawberries.
Procymidone 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 phosphoric acid as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
