A multi-residue method based on modified QuEChERS sample preparation with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as reversed-dispersive solid phase extraction (r-DSPE) material and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry determination by selected ion monitoring (GC/MS-SIM) mode was validated on 30 representative pesticides residues in vegetables and fruits. The acetonitrile-based QuEChERS (quick, ...

This application note describes a simple and rapid extraction procedure for pesticide residues in lemon essential oils. The method uses QuEChERS extraction and modified dispersive SPE coupled with GC/MS.

a fast and simple modified quechers extraction method was developed for determination of benzo[a]pyrene (bap) in 137 traditional (sangak), semi-industrial (sangak) and industrial bread samples using spiked calibration curves by gc/ms. sample preparation includes extraction of bap into acetone followed by cleanup with dispersive solid phase extraction. the limit of detection and limit of quantif...

In this study, we sought to assess the applicability of GC-MS/MS for the identification and quantification of 36 pesticides in strawberry from integrated pest management (IPM) and organic farming (OF). Citrate versions of QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) using dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and disposable pipette extraction (DPX) for cleanup were compared for...

Development of analytical methods for the determination of phytosterols in whole grains is one of growing interests due to their clinical and nutritional functions in human. In this study, we examined simultaneous determination of β-sitosterol, stigmasterol and campesterol in Korean rice cultivars by liquid chromatography atmospheric chemical ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometer (LC-APCI...

Two common analytical chemical problems often encountered when using chromatographic techniques in drug analysis are matrix interferences and ion suppression. Common sample preparation often involves the dilution of the sample prior to injection onto an instrument, especially for liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analyses. This practice frequently does not minimize or eliminate co...

This application note describes the use of a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) sample preparation approach described in the European Committee (EN) for extraction and cleanup of 17 GC-amenable multiple pesticide class residues in apple. The method involves initial extraction in an aqueous/acetonitrile system, an extraction/partitioning step after the addition of salt, a...

This application note describes the use of a quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) AOAC sample preparation approach for extraction and cleanup of 18 GC-amenable multiple pesticide class residues in spinach. The method employed involves initial extraction in a buffered aqueous/acetonitrile system, an extraction/ partitioning step after the addition of salt, and a cleanup ste...
