Abstract
Traces of several herbicides belonging to different classes of pesticide were tested in sunflower oil, and good results were obtained using a new organic phase immuno-electrode (OPIE). Both the competition step and the final enzymatic measure were carried out in optimised organic solvents. Using the new OPIE the pesticides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T (i.e. agent orange herbicides), atrazine and simazine (triazinic pesticides) and parathion (organophosphate pesticide) were tested without problems in sunflower oil.
