I am looking for a solvent (detergent) that dissolves the high dose of diazinon (pesticide) and then I want to add this solution into a water-based culture medium because the high dose of diazinon does not dissolve in water. In addition this solvent should not damage microorganisms in the culture medium. Please guide me.
Solubility (water)1,3,4,6: 0.04 g/L (40 mg/L) at 20 °C and 30 °C, however other values between 0.054 and 0.069 g/L (54 and 69 mg/L) have been reported in the 20-40 °C temperature range. Diazinon is completely miscible in acetone, benzene, ethanol, toluene, xylene and is soluble in petroleum oils.
