Abstract

The determination method for microcystins (MCs) in aquatic environment with high-performance liquid chromatography was improved. The results showed that good effects on the rinse of impurity was obtained by using carbon tetrachloride-10% ethanol-10% acetone as the eluate, and all the MCs in XAD-2 resin column could be eluted by 90% methanol-water solution. In the experiment, MC-RR and MC-LR could be totally separated at isocratic elution with mobile phase V(0.1% trifluoroacetic acid)∶V(methanol)=42∶58 and the recoveries both reached 90%. The detection limits for both of the MCs were 0.1 μg/L after the water samples were condensed 6000 times. The detection method is simple, sensitive and fast.
