New ELISA Kits for Pesticides Detection

Creative Diagnostics is providing new ELISA kits for fenpropathrin, acetamiprid, carbaryl, and chlorpyrifos analysis in the contaminated samples, as well as Bovine Chlorothalonil ELISA Kit which is suitable for in vitro quantitative detection of bovine serum, plasma or cell culture supernatant and organizations in the natural and recombinant chlorothalonil concentration. The detailed information is listed below:

Cat#	Target	Size	IC50 (ppb)	Sample
DEIANJ19	Fenpropathrin	96T	10	contaminated samples
DEIANJ20	Acetamiprid	96T	0.3	contaminated samples
DEIANJ21	Carbaryl	96T	15	contaminated samples
DEIANJ22	Chlorpyrifos	96T	6	contaminated samples
DEIANJ23	Chlorothalonil	96T	0.3	bovine serum, plasma, cell culture supernatant, organizations

What Are Pesticides?

Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Pesticides are used in public health to kill vectors of disease, such as mosquitoes, and in agriculture, to kill pests that damage crops. Although pesticides have benefits, some also have drawbacks, such as potential toxicity to other organisms, including humans, and need to be used safely and disposed of properly.

Type of Pesticide

Pesticides are often referred to according to the type of pest they control.

Type	Usage
Algaecides	Killing and/or slowing the growth of algae
Antimicrobials	Control germs and microbes such as bacteria and viruses
Desiccants	Dry up living plant tissues
Defoliants	Cause plants to drop their leaves
Disinfectants	Control germs and microbes such as bacteria and viruses
Fungicides	Control fungal problems like molds, mildew, and rust
Herbicides	Kill or inhibit the growth of unwanted plants, aka weeds
Insecticides	Control insects
Insect Growth Regulators	Disrupt the growth and reproduction of insects
Miticides	Control mites that feed on plants and animals
Molluscicides	Control slugs, snails and other molluscs
Mothballs	Insecticides used to kill fabric pests by fumigation in sealed containers
Ovicides	Control eggs of insects and mites
Pheromones	Attract insects or disrupt their mating behavior
Rodenticides	Kills rodents like mice, rats, and gophers

Reducing Pesticide Residues in Food

How much pesticide exposure from your diet is too much? The question is complicated, depending both on the pesticide and who’s being exposed. These tips will help you reduce pesticide residues (as well as dirt and bacteria) on the food you eat:

First, eat a variety of fruits and vegetables to minimize the potential of increased exposure to a single pesticide.
Thoroughly wash all produce, even that which is labeled organic and that which you plan to peel.
Simply wash the products either with tap water or distilled water rather than soaking or dunking it.
Dry them either with a piece of white cloth or with a disposable paper towel.
Scrub firm fruits and vegetables, like melons and root vegetables.
Discard the outer layer of leafy vegetables, such as lettuce or cabbage.
Peel the outer layers of fruits and vegetables.
Trim fat and skin from meat, poultry, and fish to minimize pesticide residue that may accumulate in the fat.
