· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Procymidone
Procymidone is a pesticide and fungicide with the chemical formula C 13 H 11 Cl 2 NO 2 . 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.
| Mobile Phase | MeCN – 70% |
|---|---|
| Buffer | Sulfuric Acid |
| Flow Rate | 1.0 mL/min |
| Detection | UV 275 nm |
| Class of Compounds | Dicarboximide fungicides |
| Analyzing Compounds | Procymidone |
