General description

This certified reference material (CRM) is produced and certified in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034. This CRM is traceable to primary material from an NMI, e.g. NIST or NMIJ.
Certified content by quantitative NMR incl. uncertainty and expiry date are given on the certificate.

Trichlorfon is a broad-spectrum organophosphate insecticide used for the protection of a variety of fields and fruit crops. It is also used against fish parasites in aquaculture. It inhibits the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and causes the acetylcholine (ACh) to accumulate in the nerve synapses thereby disrupting nerve function.
Trichlorfon is not approved for use in the European Union (EU) as a plant protection agent under Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009, repealing directive 91/414/EEC. But a default maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.01 mg/kg and 0.02 mg/kg is set for its presence in fresh/frozen fruits and tree nuts respectively as per the Reg. (EU) No 899/2012.

Application

The certified reference material (CRM) is intended to be used as a calibrant for chromatography and other analytical techniques.
The trichlorfon CRM may also find the following uses:

  • Determination of trichlorfon in leek and cucumber samples by direct competitive biomimetic immunosorbent assay based on the use of a molecularly imprinted polymer
  • Development of a biomimetic immunoassay-capillary electrophoresis (BI-CE) method using quantum dot (QD) labels to determine trichlorfon in carrot, zucchini, edible rape, and leek samples
  • Analysis of phthalates and 18 insecticide residues in 46 different samples of shrimps using liquid/gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/GC-MS/MS) for the risk assessment of compounds on human health
  • Multi-residue determination of 238 pesticides and 78 veterinary drugs in 80 bovine milk samples by ultra-fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UFLC-MS/MS) and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS)
  • Evaluation of nanoflow liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) to simultaneously determine 60 pesticide residues from different chemical classes in tomato, baby food, olive oil, orange, and fruit jam samples
  • Validation of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for detection and quantification of clanobutin, dichlorvos, and naftazone in pork, beef, chicken, milk, and egg samples

Trichlorfon is an organophosphate pesticide used extensively for controlling ectoparasites in aquaculture. Studies have found that trichlorfon caused environmental pollution and severe neurotoxic effects in several freshwater species. Feed additives such as flavonoids may reduce or prevent pesticide-induced toxicity in
