Abstract

The aim of the current study was to develop a unique, fast, proficient, economical, precise and accurate reproducible analysis method for the determination of Bifenthrin which involves the use of reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography with Ultraviolet-Visible detector (HPLC-UV).This method is equally beneficial to detect and quantify the Bifenthrin in multiple modes of formulations available in the market and in raw materials (technical’s) with high recoveries to almost 100%. The validation data shows that this analytical method has superb linearity value R2 = 0.999. Limit of detection (LOD) for this projected analytical method observed was 0.28 mg/L and that the value of LOQ was found to be 0.93 mg/L. This analytical method has shown the higher value of precision (RSD = 0.22%). The accuracy for this intended method has been calculated in terms of recovery percentage which is approximately 100% at optimized conditions. Finally, the robustness results of the decided method have been calculated by changing the rate of flow and the mobile phase ratios of the solvents. The obtained results were found to exist within the allowed accepted figures in terms of Relative Standard Deviation (RSD ≤ 2%). Overall the proposed analytical method can successfully be applied for the quantitative measurement with excellent recoveries percentage in various modes of pesticides products in raw materials and different dosage formulations containing the Bifenthrin as an active ingredient at commercial scale in the laboratory.
