Gas chromatographic peak enhancement problem and solution

ABSTRACT

The peak enhancement of Bentazon [3-isopropyl-1 H-2,1,3-benzothiazin-4 [3H]-one-2,2-dioxide]; the active ingredient of Basagam herbicide; and its metabolites in fortified samples have been studied using capillary gas chromatography [GC] with a thermionic specific detector [TSD], flame photometric detector [FPD] and mass selective detector. [MSD]. The enhancement problem which was connected with the infection of samples and standards in methanol was eliminated by using non-polar solvent for GC infection
