Abstract: The analysis methods of dithiocarbamates(DTCs) fungicide and their metabolites, including detailed discussion of individual analysis methods, such as spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and micellar electrokinetic chromatography, etc. were reviewed. The prospects of application on the residue analysis of DTCs were predicted. Currently, high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) determination with derivation is becoming the most applicable method, with its time-consuming, in several steps but good precision and reliability, plus with resolution for 3 different types of DTCs. It’ s expected that the simultaneous determination of dithiocarbamate fungicides matrix and their metabolites with tandem mass spectroscopy would be an active hotspot in this field.
