Description

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of PMIDA (Phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid) , Glyphosate .

Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide. It works through inhibiting the plant enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. The enzyme is essential for producing amino acids within the plant.  Glyphosate is used across agriculture and forestry, as well as rare aquatic environments.  It’s chemical formula is C 3 H 8 NO 5 P . You can find detailed UV spectra of Glyphosate and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

N-(Phosphonomethyl)iminodiacetic acid , also known as PMIDA , is a key intermediate in the making of glyphosate. It has the chemical formula (HO) 2 P(O)CH 2 N(CH 2 CO 2 H) 2 . You can find detailed UV spectra of PMIDA and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.

PMIDA (Phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid) , Glyphosate can be retained and analyzed using the Newcrom BH stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a phosphoric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
