Description

Trimedlure B1 is a highly volatile, synthetic chemical attractant specifically designed for insect pest management. This compound is critically important as a key active ingredient in monitoring and control programs for economically significant fruit fly species. It is primarily utilized by agricultural authorities, pest control operators, and research institutions involved in integrated pest management (IPM) and quarantine security.

Application

• Primary use as a male-specific attractant in traps for the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata).
• Critical component in area-wide surveillance and monitoring programs for quarantine pest detection.
• Used in lure-and-kill or mass trapping strategies within integrated pest management (IPM) systems.
• Essential for research and field studies on fruit fly behavior, population dynamics, and control efficacy.
• Formulation into various dispensers (e.g., polymeric plugs, membranes) for controlled release in the field.
• Deployment in ports, borders, and agricultural zones to prevent the establishment and spread of invasive species.

Quality Control

Our Trimedlure B1 is produced and tested to meet the exacting standards required for effective pest management applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure high chemical purity and isomeric consistency, which are critical for reliable field performance and attraction specificity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and isomeric profile is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, keep containers tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain potency.
