Aldicarb Rapid Test Kit
Brand: FSTest
8–10 mins Rapid Readout Time | 0.02 mg/kg Baseline LOD (20 µg/kg) | 10 Tests Complete Kit Pack | 12 Months Shelf Life (4–30°C) |
The FSTest Aldicarb Rapid Test Kit is a professional-grade, rapid screening tool engineered for the qualitative detection of aldicarb residues in fresh fruits and vegetables.
Aldicarb is an extremely potent carbamate insecticide and nematicide subject to rigorous international agricultural enforcement. By eliminating the immediate necessity for complex and costly laboratory infrastructure (such as HPLC or GC-MS), this field-ready assay compresses pesticide residue extraction into a simplified room-temperature workflow, serving as an essential first-line defense in fresh produce logistics, crop harvesting hubs, and corporate quality compliance screening programs in just 8 to 10 minutes.
High-Speed Field Turnaround: Complete the entire screening assay workflow and read stable, highly reliable visual results within just 8 to 10 minutes post-sample-preparation.
Ultra-High Sensitivity Range: Specifically calibrated to yield dependable qualitative screenings for major produce matrices at extremely low thresholds, targeting 0.02 mg/kg for fruits and down to a baseline limit of detection (LOD) of 20 µg/kg (0.02 mg/kg).
Multi-Matrix Crop Adaptability: Officially validated across a massive agricultural commodity selection, including fruits, citrus, berries, melons, vegetables, leafy greens, solanaceous crops, stems, aquatic vegetables, and root/tuber crops (potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams).
Fully Self-Contained Kit Architecture: Arrives fully packed with 10 test cassettes, 10 microwells, 10 centrifuge tubes (2 mL), 50 mL dedicated extracting solution, and 2 sampling bottles (30 mL).
Reliable Ambient Preservation: Unopened test kits can be safely kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry location between 4–30°C for a full 12-month shelf life.

| Applicable Agricultural Commodity Matrix | Targeted LOD (mg/kg) | Supernatant X (µL) | Diluent Solution Y (µL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kernel or stone fruits, citrus, berries and small fruits, tropical/subtropical fruits, melons | 0.02 mg/kg (20 µg/kg) | 100 µL | 0 µL |
| Bulb, brassica, leafy, solanaceous, melon vegetables, stem, root & tuber vegetables (except potatoes, sweet potatoes, yams, cassava), Brussels sprouts, aquatic vegetables, and others | 0.03 mg/kg | 100 µL | 0 µL |

Extensively validated across diverse fresh produce commodities:
STEP 1 Extraction Cut fresh sample into 0.5 cm pieces. Weigh 2 g into sampling bottle, add 5 mL Extracting Solution, shake 1 min, let stand 1 min. (Centrifuge if cloudy). | STEP 2 Matrix Dilution Pipette X µL supernatant into a 2 mL tube, add Y µL diluent solution according to the matrix guide, and swirl/shake to mix thoroughly. | STEP 3 Microwell & Load Ensure 20–40°C environment. Pipette 100 µL solution into microwell, mix 3–5 times, stand 3 min. Transfer 100 µL to cassette sample well. | STEP 4 Read at 8–10 Mins Interpret visual lines strictly at 8–10 minutes. Visual readouts become strictly invalid after 10 minutes due to late chemical shifts. |
Negative (-): Both Control (C) line and Test (T) line develop color normally. Aldicarb residue is safely below the targeted matrix LOD limit.
Positive (+): Control (C) line develops normally, but Test (T) line is visibly lighter or fails to appear → Aldicarb residue ≥ targeted matrix LOD limit.
Invalid: Control (C) line fails to show any visible color band. Re-testing with a new cassette is required.
Adhere to strict operational parameters to ensure maximum screening accuracy:
Qualitative Screening Purpose: Engineered strictly for qualitative preliminary screening; not intended for precise quantitative concentration evaluation.
Matrix Dilution Accuracy: Strictly execute the X & Y dilution ratio corresponding to the commodity type to calibrate reading against exact regulatory MRL cutoffs.
Strict Time Window: Read visual test results strictly between 8–10 minutes after loading the cassette; results observed after 10 minutes are invalid.
Kit Components Included: 10 Test cassettes, 10 Microwells, 10 Centrifuge tubes (2 mL), Extracting solution (50 mL) x1, 30 mL Sampling bottles (x2), User Manual.
Required Equipment (Not Provided): Scissors, electronic balance (2 g precision), micropipettes (X & Y µL, 100 µL), vortexer, centrifuge (optional, for turbid extracts), and timer.
