There is a high demand for rapid determination of fipronil in pesticide preparations because it has been restricted and even prohibited in many countries. An infrared-based methodology was developed for this analyte in acetamiprid formulations by attenuated total reflectance mid-infrared spectroscopy. The quantitative calibration models of fipronil were established by partial least squares regression. The determination coefficients (R-2) of the model were above 0.99 while both the root mean square error of prediction and root mean square error of calibration were below 0.0011, which showed the partial least squares model accurately predicted fipronil concentrations in acetamiprid. The accuracy was further demonstrated by comparison with another two models' results of low (<1.0%, w/w) and high concentration sample sets (1.0%-4.5%, w/w). These results demonstrate the potential of infrared spectroscopy to quickly detect fipronil in acetamiprid.
