CideLite Broad Spectrum Pesticide Screen
for Multiple Matrices
Charm® CideLite detects all organophosphate and N-methylcarbamate insecticides and their active metabolites with a single 15 minute test.
Rapid Sample Preparation
The Charm CideLite Test for Pesticides is a rapid screening assay for the detection of N-methylcarbamate (CM) and organophosphate (OP) insecticides. In a single assay the cumulative levels of all CM and OP insecticides and their active metabolites are detected.
The assay uses a specific enzyme / receptor reaction that is sensitive to the presence of CM and OP insecticides. The residual bioactivity is measured on a Charm luminometer. Negative samples have full activity resulting in high readings, while low readings indicate the presence of CM or OP insecticides.
