An Analysis of Maicaodi by High Performance Liquid Chromatography
麦草敌的高效液相色谱分析

Maicaodi has recently been developed and produced by the pesticide plant of Nanjing Agricultural University. The quantitative analysis of the effective components--tribenuron methyl and R (-)napropamide in wettable powder of Maicaode, by a high performance liquid chromatographic method was carried out with a Lichrosorb Si-60 20cm x 0.46cm i.d. column, mobile phase of petroleum ether/isopropanol/methanol/acetonitrile/chloroform mixture solvent (80:5:5:5:5) and internal standard of diisooctyl phthalate. The sample was detected by ultraviolet absorption at 254 nm. The retention times of tribenuron methyl and R (-)napropamide were 10-11min and 6-7min respectively. The coefficient of variation of this analysis was 0.34% with a recovery of 99.51%-100.32%. The coefficient of linear correlation was 0.9999.
