AccuSift provides high-performance paraquat competitive assay pairings, characterized by exceptional batch‑to‑batch consistency and optimized for IVD kit development (Lateral Flow, Chemiluminescence, ELISA, POCT). These pairings offer high affinity and specificity, facilitating rapid detection.Paraquat is a rapid‑acting, non‑selective herbicide with contact and some systemic action. It is rapidly absorbed by plant green tissues, causing desiccation. It is inactive on non‑green tissues, loses herbicidal activity upon soil contact, leaves no residue, does not harm plant roots, and does not pollute the environment. It is corrosive to metal equipment, stable for more than 2 years at 25°C, and classified as moderately toxic.However, it is highly toxic to humans with no specific antidote, making it the herbicide with the highest human acute‑fatal‑poisoning mortality rate.On July 1, 2014, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs revoked the registration and production permits for paraquat aqueous solutions, and banned their production and sale. Two years later, on July 1, 2016, the sale and use of paraquat were completely prohibited in China.Performance Characteristics:
