CSIR-Central Scientific Instruments Organisation [CSIR-CSIO]: This invention describes a process for creating a dot card that enables sensitive detection of organophosphate pesticides, such as chlorpyrifos, in food and water. The dot card is a self-contained, disposable, and economical test kit that uses an immuno-colorimetric strip based on a competitive binding assay for rapid detection. This innovation addresses the limitations of existing pesticide detection methods, such as ELISA and HPLC, by providing a simple and effective solution for onsite testing. Applications include monitoring pesticide contamination in agriculture and ensuring food and water safety.
