Development and characterisation of an immunoaffinity chromatographic column for the on-line determination of the pesticide triclopyr.
An immunoaffinity column for the selective extraction and concentration of the herbicide triclopyr from water samples and quantification on line by HPLC has been developed. The immunoaffinity device was prepared by immobilising triclopyr antibodies to hydrazide derivatized azlactona beds. Efficient desorption of bound triclopyr was achieved with 70% ethanol/water solution. The column was evaluated regarding selectivity, recovery, capacity, saturation volume and reusability. Obtained results show that immunoaffinity chromatography (IAC) can be used for quantitative extraction, concentration and determination of triclopyr from water samples.
