The invention relates to the technical field of chemical
pesticide test, and particularly relates to a method for testing
carbofuran in
carbamic acid ester pesticides, in particular to a method for testing trace
carbofuran. With flour,
zinc meso-tetraphenylporphine solution and
phosphate buffer with the pH value of 6.5 to 7.25 as materials, the method respectively prepares
zinc meso-tetraphenylporphine-
plant esterase compound solution and sample
mixed solution, then respectively tests the absorption spectrum curves of the
zinc meso-tetraphenylporphine-
plant esterase compound solution and the sample
mixed solution on light
waves with the
wavelength of 300nm to 750nm, and compares the two tested spectrum curves; if the two spectrum curves are identical, then N, N-
dimethylformamide cleaner sample to be tested does not contain
carbofuran, or the content of carbofuran exceeds the test limit of the method; and if the two spectrum curves are not identical, then the sample to be tested contains carbofuran. The test cost of the method is low, the method is applicable to a wide range of regions, the precision,
repeatability and stability of the test result are high,
field tests can be carried out as well, the method is easy to operate, and moreover, the affection of the environment on the test result is little.
