Carbamates insecticides are used increasingly in agriculture as a replacement for environmentally more persistentorganochlorine insecticides for the control of insect pests. It was the most used pesticides in Loukkous-Morocco. Conventional methods employed to detect/analyze carbamates residues are time consuming and require sophisticated equipment only available in well-equipped laboratories. In addition, the conventional methods usually require a lot of complex pre-treatment of samples. Therefore, convenient and rapid pesticide detection system is urgently needed. In this order, we aimed to develop a rapid ELISA (enzyme-linked immuno-Sorbent Assay) for detection of some carbamates such as carbendazim [methyl 2-benzimidazole carbamate] and carbofuran [2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranylmethyl carbamate]. To develop an immunoassay for carbendazim and carbofuran we have synthesized molecules with acid function (haptens with 4 and 5 carbons) that are coupled with BSA protein and injected to the rabbits, collected antibodies are used for the achievements of the immunoanalytical assay.

Carbamates, polyclonal antibodies, ELISA.
