Captafol is a phthalimide fungicide, used for its non-systemic protective and curative benefits on various fruits and vegetables such as pome fruit, stone fruit, potatoes, carrots, apples, tomatoes, beets, cotton, peanuts, and rice.
As per Regulation (EC) No. 1107/2009, repealing directive 91/414/EEC, captafol is not approved for use in the European Union as a plant protection product. But maximum residue levels of 0.02 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg are allowed for its presence in frozen/fresh fruits and tree nuts respectively according to the EU Reg. No 899/2012.

Application

The certified reference material (CRM) is intended to be used as a calibrant for chromatography and other analytical techniques.
Captafol CRM can also be used as follows:

• Development and validation of a method for simultaneous detection and quantification of captan, captafol, folpet, iprodione, and their main metabolites in six samples of fruits and vegetables by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
• Multi-residue analysis of captan, captafol, folpet, and iprodione, along with their major degradation products in cereal samples of rice, wheat, sorghum, and corn by dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
• Simultaneous determination of 407 pesticide residues in organic tea sample by UPLC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS after a QuEChERS-based sample extraction
• Multi-class analysis of 119 pesticide residues in fish samples by gas chromatography-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry (GC-QTOF-MS)
• Validation of a method for multi-residue analysis of 150 pesticides in yam, taro, and sweet potato samples involving pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) followed by GC-MS/MS determination
• Liquid-liquid extraction and enhanced matrix removal-lipid (EMR-Lipid) cartridge clean-up of 46 pesticide residues from edible oil samples, followed by their gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) determination
