Agrochemical Analysis Service

The term agrochemical is used as a generic term for the chemical products or pesticides used in agriculture. The main factors included are fungicides, herbicides and insecticides, as well as synthetic fertilizers, hormones and soil conditioning agents. Agrochemicals play a crucial role in modern industrialized and intensive farming methods, making the growth of foods on previously uncultivatable land become possible and maximizing the yield of a given soil.

The contents of agrochemical analysis cover physicochemical character, active ingredient concentration analysis and pesticide residue analysis. How to analyze pesticides quickly and accurately is a very important task at present. Agrochemicals have experienced a long way since the creation of synthetic fertilizers, and the need to better understand or optimize both the agrochemical production process and the formulation make up of agrochemicals is becoming more apparent. According to the different characteristics, different detection methods such as liquid chromatography (LC) or gas chromatography (GC), high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or gas/liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS/LC-MS) can be used for agrochemical analysis.

Agrochemical Analysis at Creative Proteomics

Creative Proteomics can help with the analysis and optimization of your agrochemical products to assist the development of new agrochemicals and for quality control and production optimization by a range of analytical tools.

Physical and chemical analysis of agrochemicals

Pesticide physical and chemical test indicators mainly include moisture, pH, melting point, fineness, emulsion stability, suspension rate and heat storage stability. We can offer you to:

Sort soil types relate to their composition and physical characteristics
Improve dissolution behavior and activity rate of fertilizers and pesticides
Confirm particle size and shape of powder formulations to ensure optimum and consistent flow and packing characteristics.

Content analysis of active ingredients

Analysis of active ingredients pesticides normally contains insecticide analysis, fungicide analysis, herbicide analysis and plant growth regulator analysis. By the help of analytical instruments and validated methods, we can provide accurate and professional content analysis of active ingredients.

Insecticide. We can analysis various kinds of insecticides, including organochlorine insecticides, organophosphorus insecticide, dimethoate, and so on. Organochlorine insecticide (benzene hexachloride or DDT, chlorpyrifos) is highly toxic and difficult to break down, it has carcinogenic effects. Benzene hexachloride (BHC) is a cholinesterase inhibitor that acts on the nerve membrane, causing insects to malfunction, paralyzed to death. Organophosphorus insecticide (methamidophos or dimethoate) takes up 70% of insecticide and its nature is unstable. Dimethoate is a systemic organophosphate insecticide and acaricide and it has a wide range of insecticides and has strong contact and certain stomach toxicity to pests or mites. Methyl carbamate insecticide has a wide spectrum of insecticides and low toxicity such as aldicarb or carbaryl. And these insecticides can be detected by LC or GC.
Fungicide. Such as carbendazim, phenazine oxide, and zineb all belong to fungicide. We can use iodometric method to analyze its content.
Herbicide. Herbicides inhibit the life of weeds but are harmless to animals, for example, diuron and linuron, atrazine. Normally, we can detect most herbicides by GC.
Plant growth regulator. Plant growth regulators are chemicals which can be applied to plant from the outside and alter the growth or development of plants, such as auxin, cytokinin and defoliant.

Pesticide residue analysis

Pesticide residues refer to pesticides and their toxic metabolites that remain in plants, soils and the environment. Due to the low level of pesticide residues, complex analysis process and high technical requirements, we can provide a more convenient way to solve your problems.

Thin layer chromatography (TLC). This method is fast and intuitive without special instruments, and can analyze trace and multiple samples simultaneously.
HPLC. HPLC can show its outstanding advantages for pesticides that are not easily vaporized or easily decomposed by heat.
GC-MS. GC-MS is a combination of GC and MS. After the residual pesticides in the sample were separated by GC, they were subjected to full-spectrum scanning of mass spectra from low mass to high mass. Not only can the target compound be separated from the interfering impurities, but it can also distinguish between samples which cannot be separated or completely separated.
LC-MS. LC-MS is a method of joining LC and MS using internal jet and particle flow interface. It is mainly used to analyze samples with thermal instability, large molecular weight and difficult to be analyzed by GC.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
