Determination of pirimiphos methyl in formulations by high performance liquid chromatography.
A simple and rapid method for the determination of pirimiphos methyl (O-[2-(diethylamino)-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl] O,O-dimethyl phosphorothioate) in formulations by high performance liquid chromatography is described. The sample is dissolved in methanol, and biphenyl is added as an internal standard. Then the sample is chromatographed by reverse phase chromatography on a Zipax octadecylsilane column. A 4 mul injection containing 0.01% pirimiphos methyl produces a 50% full scale peak at the maximum absorbance at 254 nm.
