AccuStandard offers analytical reference standards for Neonicotinoids and Fipronil

Neonicotinoids are linked to the decline of honeybees and are a contributing factor in colony collapse disorder (CCD). Toxicity levels may not kill bees directly; low level exposures may limit the ability of honeybees to forage, collect pollen and return to their hive. Besides direct contamination, Neonicotinoid exposure can be from dust, pollen and/or nectar.

Fipronil is also linked to the decline of honeybees. Fipronil is in the phenyl pyrazole class of pesticides and is a broad-spectrum insecticide used in commercial products such as flea and tick control pet collars. Fipronil metabolites are more toxic to organisms than the parent compound. Anaerobic metabolism in soil results in Fipronil sulfide, oxidative degradation in soil results in the metabolite Fipronil sulfone, and photodegradation results in the formation of a very persistent metabolite, Fipronil desulfinyl.

These reference standards are all available through Novachem in Australia.
