Triflumizole

Overview

Triflumizole is an imidazole fungicide and is used for multiple farm products.  This kit allows an easy, rapid (within 2 hours), sensitive, quantitative, multi-sample analysis of triflumizole 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 acid, 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 triflumizole.

          Application examples

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