Biochemical indicators of insects are one of the most important means of monitoring the quality of insects. Insect pheromones control insect behavior and have an important economic value in the development and use of pesticides. Heavy metals in living organisms can in turn be converted by microorganisms into more toxic organic compounds, the excessive content of heavy metals affects the physiological status of insects and thus the quality of insects. After most pathogens invade the insect body, they first cause infection and eventually septicemia, pathogens can be very damaging to insects and can even kill them.
Since the biochemical indicators of insects, pheromones, metal content and pathogens are all important indicators for monitoring insect physiology and normal life activities, it is necessary to detect these four types of indicators. Lifeasible provides services for insect substances detection including Biochemical Index Detection of Insects, Insect Pheromone Detection, Insect Metal Content Detection, and Insect Pathogen Detection to monitor the physiological state of insects and ensure insects are up to snuff.

We use several methods to detect variety of nutrient contents in insect samples like LC-MS, GC-MS, the standard instrument determination method, ion chromatography, HPLC, biochemical extraction, ICP-AES, ELISA and biochemical assay. We can analyze intraspecific pheromones and interspecific pheromones in insect samples through GC-MS. We offer ICP-AES to detect the content of heavy metals in insect samples like live insects, insect carcasses and insect powder. We can use DNA microarray, PCR and nucleic acid hybridization to detect insect pathogens in live insects, insect carcasses and insect powder samples.
We can detect insect substances such as nutrient content, phormone, metal content and pathgones in insect samples with higher compatibility, less time consuming and accurate qualitative, and quantitative determination of substances according to your needs by our experienced teams.
Lifeasible offers insect substances detection services including Biochemical Index Detection of Insects, Insect Pheromone Detection, Insect Metal Content Detection, and Insect Pathogen Detection to monitor the physiological state of insects.
