Imidacloprid is a systemic insecticide that acts as an insect neurotoxin and belongs to a class of chemicals called the neonicotinoids which act on the central nervous system of insects. The chemical works by interfering with the transmission of stimuli in the insect nervous system. Because imidacloprid binds much more strongly to insect neuron receptors than to mammal neuron receptors, this insecticide is more toxic to insects than to mammals. This product utilizes the high affinity of monoclonal antibody against imidacloprid, which can easily identify its contamination in milk without any instrument. The detection limit of the kit can meet both European and USA MRLs when used properly.
Please notice that this kit is only for milk testing, for honey testing, please contact us for help.
