Troublesome pesticides can be analyzed more easily and accurately with single-compound standards from Restek.
New individual standards are now available for dicofol, metribuzin, bromacil, lenacil, dodine, anilazine, captan, and folpet. Use these standards to simplify method development, establish instrument detection limits (IDLs), verify performance, test stability, and resolve degradation issues.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity. Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.PesticidesPesticides are used to protect crops from diseases, pests and unwanted plants. They are classed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and can be harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently regulates the use of pesticides in the USA.
