Abstract:
A fluorescence spectrometer which can measure pesticide concentration is designed by using a xenon lamp as excitation lightsource,employing optical fibers to transmit and detect fluorescence and combining with CCD spectrumdetermination technology based on fluorescent characteristics of carbaryl that can emit fluorescence as it is excited by UV rays.Moreover,the rapid measurement of carbaryl residues in cucumbers is implemented with a steadystate fluorescent spectrograph and the new system respectively. The results indicate that the linear concentration range is 0.0~120.0μg/L for carbaryl, the detection limit (LOD) is 5×10-7μg/L,the linear correlation coefficient r is 0.9991 as the excitation wavelength is 319nm and the fluorescence emission wavelength is 647nm. The data prove up to the hilt that the instrument meets the demand of fluorescence detection.
