Meperfluthrin

Description General description Meperfluthrin is a common active ingredient in mosquito coils. Meperfluthrin belongs to the pyrethroid class of insecticides which act on the voltage gated sodium channel of insects by altering the gating, causing quick knockdown, paralysis and death.

Q1: What is Meperfluthrin used for? A1: Meperfluthrin is primarily used in mosquito coils as a fast-acting insecticide that targets mosquitoes through neurotoxic action. Q2: How does Meperfluthrin work? A2: Meperfluthrin acts on the voltage-gated sodium channels of insect nerve cells, disrupting their normal function and leading to knockdown, paralysis, and death. Q3: Is Meperfluthrin suitable for analytical testing? A3: Yes, Meperfluthrin is available in PESTANAL® grade for high-purity analytical applications, and is compatible with platforms like ChemisTwin® for NMR-based identity confirmation. Q4: Can I use ChemisTwin® with Meperfluthrin? A4: Absolutely. ChemisTwin® provides a digital reference material for Meperfluthrin, allowing easy compound identity verification and quantification via NMR. Q5: Is Meperfluthrin safe for humans? A5: Meperfluthrin is used in small quantities in mosquito coils and is generally safe when used as directed. However, it should be handled carefully in its pure form to avoid toxicity.
