Detection of pesticide residues by ion mobility spectrometry

Stemming from an increase in demand for agricultural and environmental sustainability, there is a growing need for screening methods to identify residual pesticides in the environment.

Focusing on longevity, today’s capabilities of trace pesticide detection have yet to reach a sustainable threshold. While pesticide detection methods exist where field samples are collected and sent to laboratories for analysis, this route can be costly and time-consuming.

Analytical Detection LLC is developing a field-deployable pesticide residue detector utilizing Ion Mobility Technology (IMS), which can efficiently and accurately detect pesticide presence on agricultural products.
