Abstract
A general procedure has been developed for the analysis of 8 different insect growth regulators (IGRs) by using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with gradient solvent systems. The method has been used to identify and separate 8 insect growth regulators from a mixture of the standards. The method has been evaluated with different column conditions and under different solvent systems. Best resolution was obtained by using a double column and methanol/water gradient system.
