Technology Description

This user-friendly test kit enhances the detection of glyphosate-based herbicides in water through advanced analytical techniques. Utilizing pre-column derivatization coupled with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), the kit simplifies the derivatization and pretreatment process for on-site sample preservation. Its design aims to make glyphosate detection more accessible and accurate even at trace levels, ensuring environmental monitoring and water safety measures can be efficiently implemented.

State Of Development

Kits have been designed and lab protocols have been established.
