For the preparation of
the oxidizing reagent for post-column
Glyphosate Herbicide Analysis
This diluent is used to
prepare the oxidizing reagent required to
convert glyphosate to a primary amine prior to
reacting it with OPA. The reagent is prepared
by adding 100 µL of 5% solution of Sodium
hyphochlorite to one 950 mL bottle of Diluent.
The pH 11.6 Diluent is formulated to ensure pH
stability of the mixed stream of column
effluent and oxidizing reagent. This diluent
could also be used in fluorescence detection
of other secondary amines.
