摘要：

BACKGROUND：A study was undertaken to validate the performance ofACLIVIA, an AI-powered molecular recognition platform developed by ArogyamMedisoft Solution Pvt Ltd, in detecting residues of monocrotophos, acephate,acetamiprid, imidacloprid, dinotefuran and fipronil in freshly plucked tealeaves. These pesticides account for ca 90% of the totalnon-compliance of made tea in India.RESULTS：ACLIVIA requires 10 min for sample preparation and 2–4 min for analysis foridentification of these pesticides. The validation was conducted throughlaboratory studies at TLabs, Tea Research Association, Kolkata, as well asfield trials at tea estates managed by Luxmi Tea Company. A total of 332samples, with pesticide residue levels ranging from 0 to 0.1 mg kg−1, were tested. ACLIVIA demonstrated high efficiency, achieving 94.12–100%sensitivity, 94.4–100% specificity, 95.52–96.92% accuracy and with a limit ofdetection at 0.005 mg kg−1. Additionally, the platform showed minimal interference from otherpesticides. Field trials further confirmed that semi-skilled workers could betrained to operate the analyzer effectively within couple of days, making itsuitable for use at factory level.CONCLUSION：These results highlight ACLIVIA's potential torevolutionize the tea industry by offering a fast, affordable (Rs150 or US$1.70per sample testing cost) and reliable solution for detecting pesticide residuesin green tea leaves.
