Determination of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides by capillary electrophoresis with integrated potential gradient detection.
This report describes separation and detection of chlorophenoxy acid herbicides spiked in drinking water by the technique combining solid-phase extraction, field-amplified sample stacking, capillary electrophoresis, and potential gradient detection. The herbicide solution (400 mL) was concentrated to 0.1 mL by the solid-phase extraction procedure. The buffer containing 3 mM ammonia and 0.3 mM hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin was adjusted to pH 9.0 with ammonia. The sample solution was injected into the capillary to 30% of the whole length, and -9 kV and 9 kV were employed for field-amplified sample stacking and separation, respectively. The herbicides were baseline separated and the detection limits with the above combined techniques were in the range of 1-4 x 10(-2) ng/mL.
