Bitertanol
Overview
Bitertanol is a Triazole fungicide and is used for multiple farm products. This kit allows an easy, rapid (within 2 hours), sensitive, quantitative, multiple sample analysis of bitertanol that remains in farm products. This kit is best applied for inspection at delivery time/prior to processing or primary screening in production sites.
Features
Comparison with instrumental analysis
While instrumental analysis offers high accuracy, it requires complicated and time-consuming pretreatment techniques, and sophisticated instrument operation as well as large quantities of acetone, acetic ether, acetonitrile or hexane as organic solvents. The simpler pretreatment required for kit saves significant time. Additionally, only a small quantity of methanol is required as an extraction solvent for analyzing bitertanol.
Application examples
The figures show the comparison between standard curves with 10% methanol and reaction curves drawn with methanol extract of bitertanol –added farm products (diluted to 10% methanol equivalent). The overlapping curves; demonstrate the suitability of this kit for analyzing trace betertanol without any interference from the original produce.
