Detecting Trifluralin in food

Bioo Scientific has announced the availability of its MaxSignal Trifluralin ELISA kit.

This kit is the only commercially available ELISA that rapidly and affordably screens meat and fish samples for contamination from the herbicide trifluralin.

Trifluralin is a selective, preemergence dinitroaniline herbicide commonly used to control grassy and broadleaf weeds.

Trifluralin can persist in soils for many months after it is used and has been shown to be highly toxic to aquatic animals.

With detection limit of 0.4 ppb for meat and fish samples, the kit allows for the accurate detection quantitation of trifluralin.

It also offers highly reproducible results and a recovery rate of less than 75% using the trifluralin extraction buffer supplied in the kit.
