The raman spectroscopy and mass spectrometry screening methods introduced next are new technologies that replace biochemical methods. Raman spectroscopy uses a raman scatterometer for detection, which has the advantage of being fast, but the disadvantage is that the false positives are high, and the specificity is not as good as that of the mass spectrometry quick screening method. As for the mass spectrometry rapid screening method, it is a patented method developed by the agricultural drug toxic test institute of the agricultural committee,
and has obtained patents in many countries such as the european union, the united states, japan, and taiwan. It is also a test method publicly recommended by the food and drug administration of the ministry of health and welfare . As long as each pesticide has a corresponding organic sensor, it can be detected, and the detection time of cell numbers list a single sample is as long as 10 minutes. More importantly, the inspection results are more accurate and correct, and it is the benchmark technology for pesticide inspection in the world. However, relatively, the cost of the instrument is very high, long-term investment is required, and the professionalism of the inspector is required. Taking medical applications in the era of epidemic prevention as an example, raman spectroscopy is a good rapid screening reagent, while mass spectrometry screening is a pcr test with high accuracy and sensitivity.
Also because of the high cost of mass spectrometry rapid screening, except for agricultural centers, academic institutions or professional inspection companies, the willingness to invest in general access platforms is not high. The agricultural e-commerce platform "Nontoxic farmer", which operates on the core concepts of non-toxicity, friendliness, and peace of mind, is the first agricultural product platform in taiwan that has obtained the mass spectrometry rapid screening method of technology transfer from the national institute of drug and poisoning. The agricultural product platform of "Product inspection" uses the most rigorous attitude and determination to check the safety of agricultural products on the platform for consumers.
