Request Testing Agricultural Pesticides
Our comprehensive suite of analytical instruments, including HPLC, GC, ICP-OES, and spectroscopy methods, ensures accurate and reliable pesticide testing. With capabilities like USP and OPPTS compliance, we deliver trusted results tailored to your needs
Agrochemicals and Pesticides Testing
FIFRA (The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, & Rodenticide) requires registration for pesticide products. Microbac performs testing for end-use products and technical materials under the EPA’s Group A, (Product Identity, Composition & Analysis) and Group B, (Physical/Chemical Properties) guidelines. Testing includes method development and validation, physical/chemical properties and assays by instrumentation or wet chemistry.

Popular Methods
Two of the most trusted methods for evaluating antimicrobial effectiveness in agricultural pesticide testing are ISO 22442-2 and AATCC 100—each offering reliable insight into product safety and performance.
Physical/Wet Chemistry
pH by OPPTS Method 830.7000
According to OPPTS, pH data is used to calculate a degree of acidity or alkalinity of aqueous solutions which in turn is used to help evaluate potential effects on human health and the environment.
Density by OPPTS Method 830.7300
According to OPPTS, density information is used to help determine the manner and extent the materials will be transported in the environment and places they will be deposited.
Titrations by OPPTS Method 830.1800
Along with chromatography, titrations are a technique used for enforcement analytical methods to determine the concentration of the active ingredient of a product. Common actives determined by titration are hydrogen peroxide quaternary ammonium compounds, and sodium hypochlorite.
Viscosity, Capillary and Rotational by OPPTS 830.7100
According to OPPTS, viscosity is one of the physical attributes considered when evaluating penetrability into soil and potential impact on ground water.
Flammability or Flash Point by OPPTS 830.6315
This test is utilized to characterize the flammability of liquids for the purposes of safety.
