HPLC Analysis of Herbicide Mecoprop on Coresep 100 Mixed-Mode Column

Application description

Mecoprop or methylchlorophenoxypropionic acid (MCPP) is common use herbicide used to control broadleaf weeds. It is often used in combination with 2,4-D, dicamba, and MCPA. Mecoprop is a mixture of two stereoisomers. The compound is acidic and hydrophobic in nature. Mecoprop was analyzed on core-shell mixed-mode column in reversed-phase anion-exclusion modes. Retention time is controlled by the amount of ACN, buffer concentration and buffer pH. The method is suitable for analysis of various herbicides with LC/MS compatible conditions. Core-shell mixed-mode chromatography offers a synergy of unique selectivity of mixed-mode stationary phases and high efficiency of core-shell particles.
