Abstract:

In order to establish a quantitative analysis method for glyphosate and its major metabolite aminomethyl phosphonic acid (AMPA) residues in soil, the solid-phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry technology was used in this study. The sample was extracted with sodium sulfate and trisodium citrate, purified by solid phase extraction, isolated by hydrophilic liquid chromatographic column, detected by chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry under negative electro-spray ionization in the multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) and quantified by the external standard method. The results showed that the good linearity range of glyphosate and AMPA was 0.02-2 μg/mL, their correlation coefficients (R2) were 0.9995 and 0.9998. The limit of detection (LOD) of glyphosate and AMPA was 0.5 μg/kg and 0.6 μg/kg, respectively, and the limit of quantification (LOQ) was1.6 μg/kg and 2.0 μg/kg, respectively. The recovery of glyphosate and AMPA at three spiked concentration levels ranged from 79.67% to 96.17% and from 77.83% to 99.47%, respectively. RSD was 3.95%-7.49% and 1.96%-3.89%, respectively. Compared with the traditional derivatization method, this method has the advantages such as the simple operation, low LOD and high accuracy, and it is suitable for analyzing glyphosate and aminomethyl phosphonic acid in soil.
