Rapid Detection of Penetration of Pesticides, Antibiotices or Other Analytes in Plants and Produce
Lili He, Ph.D.
• Pesticide/antibiotic-penetration mapping service • SERS-based systems or probe kits for mapping penetration of pesticides, antibiotics or other analytes in plants and produce
• Simple and rapid in situ and real-time mapping of analyte penetration in a biological structure • Applicable to the mapping and detection of pesticides, antibiotics or other analytes in plants and produce • Can provide critical information for the development of better and safer pesticide application strategies
This invention provides a simple and rapid method for measuring pesticide and/or antibiotic penetration into plants and produce. The method involves the use of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) mapping for in situ and real-time tracking of the analytes by using metallic nanoparticles as probes.
