J. AOAC Int. to Publish Special Section on Pesticide Immunoassays

The January/February 2010 issue of the Journal of AOAC INTERNATIONAL will feature a Special Guest Editor Section consisting of nine papers on pesticide immunoassays. The special section was guest edited by Uzma Maqbool of the Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology and Bertold Hock of the Technische Universität München.

Maqbool says, “This special section is a small but highly committed contribution to outline the potentials of pesticide immunoassays among the other existing conventional methodologies. It is hoped that it will stimulate further research in immunochemical methods and contribute to further applications.”

The Special Guest Editor Section includes the following contributions:

  • “Evaluation of Immunoassays as an Alternative for the Rapid Determination of Pesticides in Wine and Grape Samples” by Nerea Argarate, María Arestin, Javier Ramón-Azcón, Begoña Alfaro, Alejandro Barranco, Francisco Sánchez-Baeza, and M.-Pilar Marco


  • “Quantitative Analysis of the Neonicotinoid Insecticides Imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam in Fruit Juices by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays” by Ting Xu, Ke-Yi Wei, Jia Wang, Hui-Xin Ma, Ji Li, Yan-Jun Xu, Qing X. Li


  • “Dipstick Format of an Improved ELISA for On-Site Atrazine Monitoring in Water in Pakistan” by Uzma Maqbool, Anwar-ul-Haq, and Sadia Mahboob
