Abstract

This study investigated three in vitro models to assist in elucidating possible mode‐of‐action, which could be adopted to evaluate insecticidal activity of complex, unknown, or multi‐constituent formulations. We used a combination of absorbance spectrometry, confocal scanning laser microscopy and microelectrode ion flux estimation (MIFE) to provide insight into potential target sites for insecticides. This study used two insect cell lines and evaluated three pyrethroid insecticides.
