Separation of Urea Herbicides Using a Core Enhanced Technology Accucore HPLC Column

This application note demonstrates the use of Thermo Scientific Accucore RP-MS column for the separation of urea herbicides. Urea herbicides are generally used in weed control in agricultural and non-agricultural practices and work by inhibiting photosynthesis. Some of the urea herbicides can be very unrelenting in the environment and there is the danger that they are present in the drinking water, for instance. When high concentrations of urea herbicides are ingested by humans, this can cause blood poisoning. The common symptoms of which are nausea, vomiting and stomach pain.
