Application and dissemination of pesticide residual analysis system using a commercially available ELISA kit for agricultural production sites

Abstract

The authors are involved in technical support of the introduction of a self-testing system that analyzes pesticide residues using an immunoassay at agricultural production sites. The practicality of the commercially available ELISA kit was high; however, measurement interference was confirmed in some vegetables. Ultra-filtration and dilution have been proposed to avoid measurement interference. In addition, the user's manual of the ELISA kit has added improvements for production sites. Voluntary inspection of the pesticide residue was evaluated highly by the market, and trust in this production area was gained.
