1-Naphthylacetamide (NAA) is a synthetic plant auxin that functions as a plant growth regulator. It encourages growth and root formation and prohibits pre-mature shedding of fruits and flowers. It is either applied as a foliar spray to fruits and vegetables or as a seed treatment to promote root formation.
1-Naphthylacetamide is approved for use in the European Union as per the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No. 786/2011 in accordance with Regulation No. 1107/2009 for placing the plant protection agents in the market. Following Commission Regulation (EC) No 2016/1015, the maximum residue limit (MRL) for 1-naphthylacetamide and 1-naphthylacetic acid in frozen/fresh fruits and tree nuts is set as 0.06 mg/kg.

Application

The certified reference material (CRM) is intended to be used as a calibrant for chromatography and other analytical techniques.
The 1-Naphthylacetamide CRM may also find the following uses:

• Development of a multi-residue method for the determination of 24 plant growth regulators in 50 grape samples using a modified QuEChERS method and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
• Multi-residue determination of 200 pesticides and their metabolites in honeybee samples using liquid and gas chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry
• Development and validation of a modified QuEChERS-based method to determine 207 pesticide residues in honey samples using liquid and gas chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry
• Simultaneous determination of 267 pesticides, their metabolites, and polychlorinated biphenyls in low-mass beebread samples using liquid and gas chromatography in combination with tandem mass spectrometry
• Development of a method based on the use of many isotopically labeled internal standards to compensate for the matrix effects arising in the multi-residue analysis of pesticides in food samples by gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(GC-MS/MS)
