Biography
A simple and fast pre-column derivatization High Performance liquid Chromatographic method for the analysis of Mancozeb technical was developed and validated in the present study. The mobile phase consist a mixture of Acetonitrile and 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in the proportion 60:40. This was found to give sharp peak of S-ethyl derivative of Mancozeb (S-ethyl ethylenebisdithiocarbamate) at a retention time of 9.12 minutes. HPLC analysis of Mancozeb was carried out at a wave length of 272 nm with a flow rate of 1.0 mL / minute. The linear regression analysis data for the calibration curve showed a good linear relationship with a regression coefficient 0.999 in the concentration range of 8.2 mg/L to 32.3 mg/L for derivative of Mancozeb technical. The method was validated for specificity, linearity, precision and accuracy.
