Application description
MCPB, 2,4-MCPB, 4-(4-chloro-o-tolyloxy)butyric acid, or 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy) butanoic acid is phenoxybutyric herbicide. US EPA established striked levels of MCPB permitted in crops. MCPB is hydrophobic and acidic in nature. It was analyzed in reversed-phase anion-exclusion mode on Coresep 100 mixed-mode HPLC column. Retention time is controlled by the amount of ACN, buffer pH and buffer concentration. Cores-shell mixed-mode columns are a versatile tool for analysis of polar, hydrophobic and ionic compounds. This method is compatible with mass spec. The approach can be used for analysis of MCPB in soil, crops and food products.
