Quantification of Glyphosate and AMPA by HPLC-ICP-MS/MS and HPLC-DAD: A Comparative Study

In this work, the direct determination methodology of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using inductively coupled plasma with triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (ICP-MS/MS) was compared with the conventional method using diode array detector (HPLC-DAD). Both methods were selective, but the chromatographic analysis using ICP-MS/MS as detector was four times faster than DAD. The methodology using ICP-MS/MS as detector was linear from 27 to 218 µg L-1, while by the conventional method it was 1 to 8 mg L-1. Detection limits of the glyphosate achieved with the HPLC-ICP-MS/MS and HPLC-DAD methods were 8.2 and 300 µg L-1, respectively. The direct determination using ICP-MS/MS as detector showed a lower number of stages in sample preparation because it did not need the derivatization step. Seven real samples were analyzed by HPLC-ICP-MS/MS and the results showed that these analytes were not detected.
