Pesticide residue analysis procedure and workflow
Sample preparation solutions
Sample preparation and consumables that simplify and improve throughput for pesticide, herbicide and pesticide residues analysis. We offer automated sample preparation solutions for high throughput laboratories, such as the accelerated solvent extraction platform. We also offer the more traditional QuEChERS sample preparation products for food analysis for smaller laboratories and those working with difficult matrices.
- No matrix limitations, pesticides can be extracted from high-fat, low-moisture samples or high-water content samples
- Extract compounds quickly with small solvent volume.
- Use organic acids and aqueous solvents, or acids and bases at high temperatures and pressures
- Walk-away automation that allows you to extract samples overnight
- QuEChERS kits provide a quick, easy, rugged and cost effective process for extraction of multiple pesticides from a range of different food types
- An essential technique in achieving confidence in the highly regulated field of food safety and pesticide analysis
- High recoveries, accurate results, high sample throughput, low solvent and glassware usage, reduced labor and bench space, and lower reagent costs
- µSPE Tool for TriPlusRSH provide an automated clean-up workflow
- A unified method for hundreds of pesticides with a single type cartridge
- Cycle time optimization with clean-up workflow automatically performed during the previous sample chromatographic run.
- Suitable for GC-MS and LC-MS analyses
