· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Fenvalerate
Fenvalerate is synthetic pyrethroid insecticide with the chemical formula C 25 H 22 ClNO 3 . It is used against a wide range of pests, partially due to it’s moderate mammalian toxicity following short-term and acute exposure. It is the most toxic to bees and fish. Upon contact, it may irritate skin and eyes.

Fenvalerate 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.
| Mobile Phase | MeCN – 70% |
|---|---|
| Buffer | Ammonium Formate |
| Flow Rate | 1.0 mL/min |
| Detection | UV 275 nm |
| Class of Compounds | Insecticide |
| Analyzing Compounds | Fenvalerate |
