Metrohm Presents a New, Reliable and Affordable Method for Glyphosate Analysis
1 Nov 2016
Industry news
Metrohm has produced an application for the straightforward determination of the herbicide glyphosate and its primary metabolite AMPA in drinking water by ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection.
With a detection limit of approximately 1 µg/L, the method is sensitive enough to comply with limit values in the US, Canada, Australia, and others. A whitepaper provides more details on the method and its application.
Glyphosate and its metabolite AMPA (aminomethylphosphonic acid) are usually determined by HPLC with post-column derivatization and subsequent fluorescence detection (EPA Method 547), or alternatively by ion chromatography coupled with a mass-selective detector. The above-mentioned white paper demonstrates for the first time that ion chromatography with pulsed amperometric detection is a viable, less expensive alternative for determining the glyphosate and AMPA content in water and foodstuffs.

940 Professional IC Vario
Metrohm AGWith the 940 Professional IC Vario system, Metrohm sets a new standard in ion chromatography. 940 Professional IC Vario stands for maximum flexibility combined with most easy operation and perfect reliability. Entirely modular by design, the new 940 Professional IC Vario meets your particular requirements while keeping you perfectly flexible. Based on one and the same system, you can configure any IC system you want or need.All solutions – including standards – are produced fully automatically, if desired. Starting with sample injection, the system works completely autonomously. Moreover, it is self- monitoring: All system and method parameters are permanently checked; if any system component should require maintenance, the system tells you so – with a message in plain text.The 940 Professional IC Vario system provides superior reliability of both the system itself and the analytical results produced on it: Because the system is self-monitoring, operator errors are virtually ruled out. You can absolutely rely on your measuring results. Moreover, all results can be traced back to every single step of the analysis and even sample preparation. Thus, even the strictest audits are no reason to worry any more.940 Professional IC Vario Features: Modular high-performance ion chromatography system. Unlimited possibilities for system configuration. Compact dimensions, small footprint. For routine analyses and research applications in the ng/L- to %-range.
