o-Tolidine plus KI, p-nitrobenzene-diazoniumfluoroborate, bioassay with fungi and enzyme sources, AgNO3 plus UV radiation, and p-dimethyl-aminobenzaldehyde modes of detection have been selected for TLC screening of pesticide residues in extracts of samples of unknown origin. Single solvents were used for the elution. Coefficients of variation of Rf values were studied as a function of Rf and eluants. Indicator compounds were used for controlling the proper conditions of detection. The detectability of 188 pesticide compounds was tested, and the minimum detectable amounts were determined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
