Dinotefuran is a third-generation chiral neonicotinoid insecticide, used against sucking, biting, and public health insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, beetles, aphids, whiteflies, and leaf hoppers. It disrupts the insect nervous system by exhibiting agonistic activity towards the nicotinic acetylcholine (ACh) receptors (nAChR) and affecting the cholinergic synaptic transmission.
Under the Regulation (EC) No 1107/2009 and revoking the Council Directives 79/117/EEC and 91/414/EEC, dinotefuran is not approved for its use as a plant protection agent in the European Union (EU). But a default maximum residue limit (MRL) of 0.01 mg/kg is set for dinotefuran in accordance with Art 18(1)(b) Reg 396/2005.

Application

The certified reference material (CRM) is intended to be used as a calibrant for chromatography and other analytical techniques.
The dinotefuran CRM may also find given below uses:

• Development of a method to simultaneously determine dinotefuran and its 3 polar metabolites in plum samples using dispersive-solid phase extraction procedure (d-SPE) followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
• Potentiometric determination of dinotefuran residues in soil and cucumber samples by using novel molecularly imprinted polymeric (MIP) material based sensors
• Evaluation of an ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry based method for the detection and quantification of dinotefuran and its metabolites in products of plant (watermelon, cucumber, rice) and animal (milk, egg, and pork) origin and also environmental samples of soil and water
• Multi-residue analysis of pyridaben, dinotefuran, and metabolites of dinotefuran in soil and eggplant samples with a modified QuEChERS based sample extraction and rapid resolution liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole-tandem mass spectrometry (RRLC-QqQ-MS/MS)
• Quantitative analysis of dinotefuran and its two metabolites in rice plant samples by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS)
• Development of a method to determine residues of dinotefuran and its two major metabolites in apple samples by QuEChERS based sample pre-treatment and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
