Sordidin

Sordidin (CAS 162490-88-2) is a building block used as a semiochemical component in surveillance and IPM work against Cosmopolites sordidus and other species.

Our file records 2 targets for this material — Cosmopolites sordidus; Banana weevil — spanning other taxa. That is why it is held for surveillance and programme work rather than as general stock.

Programme use is blend-first. The compound is formulated with the other components recorded for the same complex, and the ratio — not the total loading — is what field results usually track.

Where it is used

This material sits in the working part of the catalogue: the compounds formulation teams ask for by CAS when a blend needs a specific isomer, a reference point for a chromatogram, or a small quantity to test before committing to a drum.

Isomer, stability and handling

This is a synthesis intermediate or reference material. Its specification is defined by the certificate of analysis rather than by a lure application.

Store cool, dry and dark: sealed under nitrogen or argon at −20 °C for holdings longer than one season, and let containers reach room temperature before opening so condensation does not enter the material. Weigh and formulate in a ventilated area; the safety data sheet gives handling detail for the neat substance.

Documentation and packing

Each delivery carries a certificate of analysis, a GC trace and an SDS. Where a tender asks for method detail, the chromatographic conditions are supplied separately on request.

Standard packing for this line is 1kg / 25kg / 100kg, with smaller development quantities available so a blend can be trialled before a bulk order. Lead time is confirmed at quotation.

Target species recorded against this compound

• Cosmopolites sordidus
• Banana weevil

Species records are drawn from the blend literature filed for this material. Where a programme targets a species not listed, the blend is usually a ratio question rather than a different compound — send the target and we will confirm.
