Overview of analytical technologies available to regulatory laboratories for the determination of pesticide residues... 

A chapter of this length provides, at best, superficial treatment of immunochemical methodology and theory, but this overview, in conjunction with the included references, should offer the reader ready access to the specific immunochemical literature. Hopefully, this article will assist pesticide residue laboratories in applying existing immunochemical technology to specific problems in pesticide analytical chemistry.

The development of sensitive and inexpensive immunoassays for low molecular weight pesticides has been an important trend in environmental and analytical sciences during the past two decades. 0.27-29 jq design an immunoassay for a pesticide, one can rely on the immunoassay literature for agrochemicals, " but many of the innovations in clinical immunoanalysis are also directly applicable to environmental analysis. - Conversely, the exquisite sensitivity required and difficult matrices present for many environmental immunoassay applications have forced the development of technologies that are also useful in clinical immunoassay applications. In the following discussion we will describe widely accepted procedures for the development of pesticide immunoassays.
