High-purity reference materials for accurate and reliable residue analysis of Amitraz.

Overview

Amitraz is a non-systemic acaricide and insecticide first synthesized by Boots Co. in England in 1969. It is used extensively in agriculture and veterinary medicine for its effectiveness against mites, ticks, and other pests.

Its chemical formula is C₁₉H₂₃N₃, with a molar mass of 293.41 g/mol. Amitraz is insoluble in water and has a melting point of 86-87°C.

Uses

Amitraz is used in various forms including wettable powder, emulsifiable concentrate, soluble concentrate/liquid, and impregnated collars for dogs. It is effective against acarids, spider mites, ticks, and other pests. It is also used in beekeeping to control Varroa destructor mites.

Regulatory

Amitraz is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use in agriculture and veterinary medicine. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has classified it with a non-quantifiable "Suggestive Evidence of Carcinogenicity" descriptor.

Monitoring

Monitoring of amitraz residues is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits in food and environmental samples. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Exposure to amitraz can result in symptoms such as low blood pressure, hypothermia, lethargy, vomiting, and respiratory failure. In severe cases, it can be fatal. The USEPA has determined that a non-linear approach for risk quantification adequately accounts for chronic toxicity.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Amitraz is generally less harmful to non-target species, making it a preferred choice in integrated pest management. However, its overuse can lead to resistance in target species like the Varroa mite.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and usage guidelines must be followed to minimize risks. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is recommended during its application. In case of exposure, immediate medical attention is required.

Regulation

Regulatory bodies have set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for amitraz in various food products. Compliance with these limits is essential for market access and consumer safety.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for amitraz are essential for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical results, aiding in regulatory compliance.
