Glyphosat
Glyphosate - Analysis of a Controversial Plant Protection Product
Glyphosate is an herbicide that has been on the market since the 1970s and has since become the most commonly used weedkiller. The use of glyphosate is highly controversial among experts, users and consumers, as it is suspected of being carcinogenic.
Various liquid chromatography separation techniques can be used to analyse glyphosate and its metabolites (e.g. aminomethylphosphoric acid - AMPA). These include ion chromatography, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and reversed-phase chromatography. Due to the high polarity of glyphosate and its UV inactivity, the amino nitrogen is often derivatised with an Fmoc protecting group during sample preparation, which facilitates the separation and detection of the resulting substances.
