HPLC Determination of Dursban on Newcrom B Column_1216
· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Chlorpyrifos-methyl (Dursban) .
Dursban is a highly toxic organophosphate with the chemical formula C 9 H 11 Cl 3 NO 3 PS . It works through interrupting the electrochemical processes in nerves. This leads to a build-up of acetylcholine, which leads to paralysis and eventual death.
Chlorpyrifos-methyl (Dursban) 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 an Ammonium Formate buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
