Diflubenzuron 90% pre-concentrate and its 25% water-dispersible powder were analyzed by a high performance liquid chromatographic method. Six samples were extracted with 1,4-dioxane, linuron was added as internal standard, and diflubenzuron was separated on a 25 cm × 4.6 mm column packed with Zorbax BP-C8 with acetonitrile-water-l,4-dioxane (450 + 450 + 100) at 1.3 mL/min and monitored at 254 nm. Results were obtained from 17 laboratories. Within-laboratory repeatability was 0.6% for both the pre-concentrate and the water-dispersible powder samples and the reproducibility was 1.2%. The method has been adopted as a full CIPAC method and was adopted official first action by AOAC.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
