Abstrakt: This article focuses on the development of multiplexed fluorescence microbead covalent assays. Atrazine and metolachlor are widely used herbicides in the U.S. for pre-emergence control of broad-leaf weeds. Quantitative analyses for urinary excreted pesticides or pesticide metabolites are classically performed by instrumental analysis after separation from a urine matrix, This procedure is costly, time consuming, labor intensive and requires the acquisition of high capital expenditure equipment and highly trained personnel, although it is usually highly specific.
