Dinotefuran

Overview

Dinotefuran is one of neonicotinoid insecticides.  It is used for multiple farm products because of its wide insecticidal activity range. This kit allows an easy, rapid (within 2 hours), sensitive, quantitative, multi-sample analysis of dinotefuran that remains in farm products or in the environment.  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 quantity of acetonitrile as organic solvent.  The simpler pretreatment required for kit saves significant time.  Additionally, only a small quantity of methanol is required as an extraction solvent for analyzing Dinotefuran.

 Application examples

 

The figures show the comparison between standard curves with 10% methanol and reaction curves drawn with methanol extract of dinotefran-added farm products (diluted to 10% methanol equivalent).  The overlapping curves; demonstrate the suitability of this kit for analyzing trace dinotefran without any interference from the original produce.
