Application

Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Methyl benzoate may be used as an extraction solvent for extracting and preconcentrating benzimidazole fungicides in water samples prior to their determination by high-performance liquid chromatography with photodiode array detection (HPLC-PDA). It may also be used as an analytical reference standard for the quantification of the analyte in Rosa hybrida using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technique (GC-MS).
