[Analysis Case] Imaging Analysis of Pesticide Active Ingredients in Formulations

You can visualize the distribution of pesticide active ingredients and inorganic components in the formulation.

TOF-SIMS can identify components from the mass of molecular ions, allowing for imaging analysis without the need for labels such as fluorescent substances. Additionally, by measuring not only organic components but also inorganic components, it is possible to image not only the active ingredients of pesticides but also the minerals mixed into the formulations. In this study, we visualized the active ingredients of pesticides and inorganic components in two types of formulations with different mixing ratios. In formulation A (high mixing ratio), the active ingredient was widely distributed throughout the formulation, whereas in formulation B (low mixing ratio), the active ingredient was localized.
