  1. Glyphosate and AMPA Analysis in Crops A simple and reproducible extraction and clean-up for HPLC Post-column derivatization Saji George, LazsloTorma, Wendy Rasmussen, Maria Ofitserova Ph.D., Michael Pickering Ph. D., Pickering Laboratories

  2. Current Use of Glyphosate • Glyphosate is a nonselective herbicide and is used to control a great variety of annual, biennial, and perennial grasses, sedges, broad leafed weeds and woody shrubs. • It is used in fruit orchards, vineyards, conifer plantations and many plantation crops(coffee. tea, bananas). • It is used on non-crop areas(road shoulders and right of way) to control weeds and in forestry, gardening and horticulture. • Genetically modified, glyphosate tolerant crops increase the use of glyphosate and possible misapplication.

  3. Commonly Used Methods for Glyphosate Analysis in Crops • Monsanto HPLC post-column method (J.Agric. Food Chem. 1986: 34, 955 – 960) • GC/MSD (J.AOAC International. 2001: (84), 823 – 846)

  4. Monsanto Method • Extraction • Sample extracted with chloroform and 0.1N HCl • Clean-up • Chelex column, Fe 2+ form • Anion exchange column • Concentration • Evaporated to dryness and redissolved in 2 mL DI water • Analysis • HPLC/PCD using OCl-/OPA and FL detector

  5. GC/MSD Method • Extraction – Water as solvent • Clean-up – methylene chloride, CAX • Matrix specific modification – for high water, fat or protein content • Concentration – evaporated to dryness and re-dissolved in CAX mobile phase • Manual Derivatization – heptaflurobutanol in trifluoroacetic anhydride • Analysis-GC/MSD

  6. HPLC/Post-Column Method • Extraction - water • Clean-up – methylene chloride, CAX • Concentration • Analysis – HPLC/PCD using OCl-/OPA and FL detector

  7. Reagents/Equipment • Sample preparation • Methylene chloride • Acidic modifier solution(mixture of KH2PO4,, H2O, Methanol, HCl) • CAX eluant (mixture of water, HCl and Methanol) • CAX column(Pickering or Bio-Rad) • LC • Potassium eluant (K200), potassium regenerant (RG019) • Cation exchange analytical column(Cat.#1954150) • Cation exchange guard column(Cat.# 1953020) • Post-column • Reagent 1 – 100uL of 5% sodium hypochlorite solution in 950 mL of hypochlorite diluent(GA116) • Reagent 2 – 100 mg of OPA(Cat.#O120) and 2 g Thiofluor(Cat.#3700-2000) in 950 mL of OPA diluent(GA104)

  8. Extraction • To 25g of a homogenous sample add enough water (after estimation of moisture content) to make the total volume of water 125 mL. Blend and Centrifuge. • Matrix specific modification • High water content – reduce sample amount to 12.5g • High protein content – add 100mL HCl to 20mL of extract, shake and centrifuge • High fat content – do the methylene chloride partition twice.

  9. Clean-up – methylene chloride partition • To 20 mL of aqueous extract add 15 mL methylene chloride, shake for 2-3 min and centrifuge. • To 4.5 mL of aq layer add 0.5 mL acidic modifier solution. Shake and centrifuge.

  10. CAX clean-up • Prepare CAX column • Transfer 1 mL of the extract and elute to top of column • Wash with two 0.7 mL portions of CAX mobile phase and discard the effluent • Elute analytes with 12 mL CAX mobile phase

  11. Concentration • Evaporate to dryness using rotary evaporator or a vacuum vortex-type evaporator or lyophylize • Re-dissolve in 2 mL of the CAX mobile phase

  12. Instrumentation • LC • Post-column derivatization unit • Fluorescence detector

  13. LC and Post-Column Conditions • LC conditions • Column temperature: 55oC • Injection volume: 100mL • Flow rate: 0.40 mL/min • Mobile phases: Potassium eluent (K200), Regenerent (RG019) • Post column conditions • Reactor volume: 0.5 mL • Reactor temperature: 36oC • Reagent 1: hypochlorite solution • Reagent 2: OPA solution • Flow rates: 0.3 mL/min • Detection: fluorescence; lex 330nm, lem 465 nm
