· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Methiocarb
Methiocarb is a carbamate pesticide with the chemical formula C 11 H 15 NO 2 S . It works as a acetylcholinesterase inhibitor. It has been in use as an insecticide, bird repellent, acaricide, and molluscicide since 1960s.
Methiocarb 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.
