Detection of pesticides by Flow injection analysis (FIA) (CAT#: STEM-AC-0054-WXH)

Introduction

Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Over 1000 different pesticides are used around the world. Pesticides are used in public health to kill vectors of disease, such as mosquitoes, and in agriculture to kill pests that damage crops.

Principle

Flow injection analysis (FIA) is an automated method in which a sample (analyte) is injected into a continuous flow of a carrier solution, which mixes with other flowing solutions (reagents) before reaching a detector. This technique is straightforward with very low sample and reagent consumption and high sampling frequencies. Flow injection analysis has a number of advantages. One of the most important is the shorter analysis time in comparison with chromatographic methods and the possibility of real-time continuous monitoring.

Applications

FIA allows for the rapid, sequential analysis of an unlimited number of samples.
