Atrazine is a broad-leaf, pre-emergence herbicide. It is one of the most widely used herbicides around the world. Atrazine is the leading member of a class of triazine ring-containing herbicides that includes simazine and terbutylazine. Atrazine has been found to be less biodegradable than other less substituted s-triazine ring compounds with a half life from 1 week to 1 year in different soils. Because of their relative wide application, their relative high persistence, and their ability to leach through the soil, they can be detected in rain, surface water and ground water. the application of Atrazine is prohibited in several countries, in the U.S., according to the USEPA SWDA drinking water guidelines, the MCL for Atrazine is not allowed to exceed 3 ppb. The ELISA test kit detects Atrazine and related Triazines in environmental samples at the ppt levels and does not cross-react with non-related agricultural compounds.
The kit, a 96-well microtiter plate format with ready to use reagents, enables fast assay kinetics, super sensitivity, and the simultaneous measurement of multiple samples at a reasonable cost. The total time for measurement is less than 50 minutes.
