High-purity reference materials for accurate residue analysis.

Overview

Lufenuron is a benzoylurea pesticide used primarily as an insect growth regulator. Its chemical formula is C₁₇H₈Cl₂F₈N₂O₃ with a molar mass of 511.15 g·mol⁻¹ and a melting point of 174 °C. It inhibits chitin production in insects, preventing the formation of a hard exoskeleton, which leads to their death from dehydration.

Uses

Lufenuron is widely used in veterinary medicine to control flea populations in pets. It is the active ingredient in products like Program and Sentinel. Additionally, it is used as an agricultural pesticide against lepidopterans, eriophyid mites, and western flower thrips. It also serves as an effective antifungal agent in plants.

Regulatory

Lufenuron is regulated under various international guidelines to ensure its safe use in both veterinary and agricultural applications. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for laboratories conducting residue analysis.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of Lufenuron residues is essential for ensuring compliance with regulatory limits. Laboratories rely on high-purity reference materials to achieve accurate and reliable results.

Human Toxicity

While Lufenuron is primarily used in veterinary and agricultural settings, its potential impact on human health must be considered. Proper handling and usage guidelines are necessary to minimize exposure risks.

Environmental Impact

Lufenuron can have significant effects on non-target wildlife, particularly insects and aquatic organisms. Its environmental persistence necessitates careful management to prevent unintended ecological consequences.

Effects on Wildlife

The impact of Lufenuron on wildlife, especially beneficial insects and aquatic life, is a concern. Studies are ongoing to understand its full ecological footprint.

Safety Measures

Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) and adherence to application guidelines, are essential when handling Lufenuron to protect both human health and the environment.

Regulation

Lufenuron is subject to stringent regulatory controls to ensure its safe and effective use. Laboratories must adhere to these regulations when performing residue analysis.

Analytical Standards

High-purity reference materials for Lufenuron are critical for laboratories conducting residue analysis. These materials ensure the accuracy and reliability of analytical results, helping to maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
