recommended application:
special SPE phase for quick and cheap determination of pesticides in strongly matrix-contaminated samples by GC (see application 303770)
QuEChERS method = Quick Easy Cheap Effective Rugged Safe


QuEChERS method and pre-mixes

Within a few years after its development by Anastassiades et al. the QuEChERS method has gained a leading position for determination of pesticide residues in food samples by GC-MS or LC-MS, allowing rapid and cheap clean-up of strongly matrix-contaminated samples.

Procedure 1 for standard food samples:
The sample is extracted with Mix II, then purified with Mix III or Mix IV (food with higher fat content)


Procedure 2 for complex or rich food samples:
For optimising the extraction of pH-dependent compounds, for minimising decomposition of sensitive substances, and for broadening the matrix spectrum, different modifications of the QuEChERS method have been elaborated.
  The sample is extracted with Mix I, then purified with
Mix III (samples with low fat content),
Mix IV (moderate content of chlorophyll and carotinoids; e. g. carrots, lettuce),
Mix V (high content of chlorophyll and carotinoids; e. g. bell peppers, spinach) or
Mix VI (higher fat content; e. g. avocados)

In addition to the required adsorbent CHROMABOND® Diamino MACHEREY-NAGEL offers a number of individually weighed and premixed buffer and extraction mixtures, specially composed for different sample matrices.
