Abstract:
Metsulfuron-methyl and bensulfuron-methyl in paddyfield water were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLCMS/MS). The remains of metsulfuron-methyl and bensulfuronmethyl were extracted with solid phase extraction C
18 cartridge.The separation of metsulfuron-methyl and bensulfuron-methyl was performed on Waters Acquity UPLC system with a BEH C
18 column (50 mm×2.1 mm×1.7 μm) and with a linear gradient elution (CH
3OH and 0.05% acetic acid as mobile phase) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min, and detected by MS/MS with positive electrospray ionization mode. The method used external standard for quantification. The calibration curves have good linear correlation in the concentration range of 1.0—500 μg/L(
r=0.999 7—0.999 9). The limits of detection are 0.002 5 μg/L and 0.005 μg/L,respectively. The recovery is in the range of 87.6%—98.2%, and the RSD is less than 3.5%.
