[An analysis of maicaodi by high performance liquid chromatography]

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.
