The development of agricultural industrialisation has made the production of agricultural products increasingly dependent on exogenous substances such as pesticides, antibiotics, and hormones. The irrational use of pesticides can lead to excessive pesticide residues in agricultural products, causing food safety problems. As an edible agricultural product, such as rape and bee pollen, pesticide residue testing is essential. Currently, the more common pesticide residues include organophosphates, carbamates, and pyrethroids. Detecting pesticide residues in pollen is a micro or trace analysis and must be achieved using highly sensitive detection techniques. Due to the need for pesticide residue testing, Lifeasible is committed to providing highly sensitive pesticide residue testing services.

What We Offer

Based on the complexity of the pesticide species and the different testing needs, Lifeasible offers you a variety of pollen pesticide testing methods that can be applied to as many different types of pesticide testing and custom testing needs as possible. You can choose your own or consult our experienced experts to advise you on testing. At Lifeasible, you are sure to get the most suitable and satisfactory pollen pesticide testing service because, in addition to the common pesticide testing items, you can also get custom testing services.

Service Flow

1. Sample Requirements

• Fresh flowers or waxy leaf specimens, >5g;
• Pollen from fresh flowers or waxy leaf specimens from different families, >1g.

*The experimental samples will not be returned; please back them up yourself. Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control and experimental groups, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times.

*Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.

*There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information.

2. Pollen Pesticide Residue Separation, Extraction, and Purification

Extraction and purification are the most important steps in pesticide residue testing, which can directly affect the correctness and reliability of the final analytical results. Lifeasible's pollen sample pretreatment processes are efficient, environmentally friendly, miniaturized, and automated to cover as many common types of pesticide residues as possible and to improve detection efficiency. We have advanced pesticide extraction and purification methods to ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of pesticide detection, such as various microextraction techniques, purge distillation techniques, supercritical water extraction, etc.

3. HPLC-MS Analysis

HPLC is the final step of separation, while mass spectrometry allows for the characterization and quantification of trace analytes. The combination of chromatography and mass spectrometry has the advantages of efficient multi-residue analysis, high detection sensitivity, good selectivity, and simultaneous qualitative and quantitative analysis.

We Do Better

• There is no restriction on plant species; pollen from different families can be analyzed for pesticide residues at Lifeasible.
• Professional and experienced botanists are involved throughout the process to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the results.
• The standardized pollen pesticide detection process allows for efficient and low detection limit analysis.
• With the one-stop analysis process, you only need to provide pollen samples as requested and you will end up with detailed pollen pesticide residue content analysis results directly.

Lifeasible, a comprehensive phytotechnology company, provides accurate testing and analysis services related to plant pollen using various methods.
