Advancing micro-electrometric techniques for the detection of organophosphate and carbamate residues using cricket cholinesterase.

The widespread use of organophosphate (OP) and carbamate (CM) pesticides requires efficient and cost-effective detection methods. This study introduces a micro-electrometric method using cricket cholinesterase (ChE) to detect OP and CM residues, providing a rapid and economical alternative to conventional chromatographic techniques. The parameters of the method, including the substrate concentration, incubation temperature, and incubation time, were optimized.
