Thiamethoxam testing: testing of neonicotinoids such as thiamethoxam and thiamethoxam

2025-08-23


thiamethoxam is a highly effective and broad-spectrum neonicotinoid insecticide, which is widely used in pest control of many crops. It effectively kills aphids, planthoppers, whiteflies and other piercing-sucking mouthparts pests by acting on the nervous system of insects, and escorts agricultural production. However, like other pesticides, the unreasonable use of thiamethoxam may lead to its residues in agricultural products, and then enter the human body through the food chain, posing a potential threat to human health. Therefore, accurate detection of thiamethoxam residues in agricultural products is crucial.

Thiametham is also a neonicotinoid pesticide, and has a similar mechanism of action and application range to thiamethoxam. This type of neonicotinoid pesticides has been widely used around the world due to its excellent insecticidal effect and relatively low mammalian toxicity. However, in recent years, there has been an increasing discussion on its impact on pollinators and ecological risks, which highlights the need for strict monitoring of neonicotinoid pesticide residues including thiamethoxam and thiamethoxam.

In order to ensure food safety and protect public health, the establishment of fast, accurate and convenient neonicotinoid pesticide residue detection methods has become an urgent need in the industry. Although traditional instrumental detection methods have high accuracy, they are complicated, time-consuming and costly, making it difficult to meet the needs of on-site rapid screening and large-scale sample testing.

In this context, Wuhan Yupinyan Bio, as a professional food safety rapid detection reagent manufacturer, deeply understands the market demand for efficient and convenient detection solutions. The company is committed to providing rapid detection reagents for a variety of neonicotinoids such as thiamethoxam and thiamethiamine. These rapid detection reagents are usually based on the principle of immunochromatography, and have the advantages of simple operation, fast detection speed, relatively low cost, and easy interpretation of results. They can meet the rapid screening needs of grass-roots regulatory departments, agricultural product production bases, processing enterprises, and scientific research institutions in different scenarios.

By using Wuhan Yupinyan Bio's food safety rapid detection reagent, relevant units can conduct preliminary screening of a large number of samples in a short period of time, and timely find the problem of excessive residues of neonicotinoids such as thiamethiazide and thiamethiamine, so as to effectively control risks and prevent unqualified agricultural products from entering the market. This is of great significance for improving the quality and safety level of agricultural products, and is also a concrete manifestation of Wuhan Yupinyan Bio's assistance in the construction of food safety defenses
