The results show that the chromatographic method demonstrated to be selective, accurate, precision and linear over the concentration range of 5.0 - 1000.0 ĻĖgĄ¤LŠ1. Besides, limits of quantitation and determination were satisfactory, 29.48 and 8.84 ĻĖgĄ¤LŠ1, both determined by calibration curve. The method proposed also showed good results for assays of recovery, with confidence intervals between 80 and 100%, approximately, with accuracy and precision. %K Chlorimuron Ethyl %K Sulphonylurea %K Validation of Analytical Method %K HPLC-UV %U http://www.oalib.com/paper/4831840
