[Analysis of imidacloprid and damanlin by high performance liquid chromatography]

A new method for determination of imidacloprid and damanlin by using HPLC was established. It was carried out on a mu Bondapak C18 column (3.9 mm i.d. x 300 mm) with ACN-MeOH-H2O (60:10:30, V/V) as eluent and detected at 240 nm using photodiode array detector. The results of imidacloprid and damanlin were 3.71% and 15.65% respectively. The standard deviations for imidacloprid and damanlin were 0.88% and 0.76% respectively.
