QuEChERS is a two-stage process, as outlined below. These QuEChERS instructions cover both Stage 1 (extraction) and Stage 2 (cleanup). They include a general over - view of the stages, as well as method-specific information for each of the three major QuEChERS methods. Simply find the section pertaining to the specific catalog Buffered QuEChERS. In 2004, in order to improve the recovery rate of certain alkali-sensitive pesticides, Lehotay et al. proposed a buffered QuEChERS method, in which acetonitrile containing 0.1% acetic acid is used as an extract, and anhydrous sodium acetate is used as a salting-out agent. Because pH plays a role in pesticide stability, the buffered QuEChERS salts (AOAC or EN) are preferable. When we look at the data collected after spiking orange pulp with the QuEChERS Performance mix ( #31152 ) and extracting with all three types of extraction salts (Fig 1), there are higher responses for several pesticides, especially when 1. J Sep Sci. 2017 Jan;40(2):415-423. doi: 10.1002/jssc.201600953. Epub 2016 Dec 14. Development of a single-run analytical method for the detection of ten multiclass emerging contaminants in agricultural soil using an acetate-buffered QuEChERS method coupled with LC-MS/MS. However, if your analytes of interest are pH sensitive, you will want to select one of the buffered methods—notably, the official EN 15662 method [2], the mini-multiresidue approach [3], or the official AOAC 2007.01 method [4].

Also, due to the recent shortage in acetonitrile (MeCN), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) was evaluated as a substitute solvent in the acetate-buffered QuEChERS version, but it generally led to less clean

QuEChErS 91 In just 3 easy steps, you can prepare any fruit or vegetable sample for multi-class, multi-residue pesticide analysis. Add Acetonitrile Check pH and adjust to 5 - 5.5 Add internal standard Shake and centrifuge Shake and centrifuge •QuEChERS method •Compounds for screening Use buffered kits if base-sensitive pesticides are present. The most common citrate buffered QuEChERS extraction method and liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) device were used. The mass spectrometer was operated in the positive electrospray ionisation ESI (+) mode and the non-scheduled multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) method in a short run time of 16.0 min. Buffered QuEChERS extraction tubes with foil packet containing 6 g of magnesium sulfate and 1.5 g of sodium acetate (AOAC Method 2007.01, for use with 15 g samples, Agilent Technologies p/n 5982-5755) buffered QuEChERS-based approach. Briefly, 10 mL of acidified (1% acetic acid) acetonitrile was added to 5 g (cereals/feed) or 10 g (fruit/vegetables) of homogenized sample. A mixture of salts was added and the centrifuge tube shaken and spun. The final acetonitrile extracts (0.5 or 1 g/mL in acetonitrile) were fortified with a mixture

Extraction tube of original and buffered QuEChERS methods. The sample preparation protocol for AOAC Official Method 2007.01 is presented in Figure 1. This procedure was designed for commodities such as fruits and vegetables and optimized for samples that have high water content. For dry commodities, such buffered method gave better results for screening of those pesticides. Also, due to the recent shortage in acetonitrile (MeCN), ethyl acetate (EtOAc) was evaluated as a substitute solvent in the acetate-buffered QuEChERS version, but it generally led to less clean extracts and lower recoveries of pymetrozine, thi- Below is a basic, but thorough, overview of what QuEChERS is and how it is performed manually step by step. What is QuEChERS? QuEChERS is a Quick-Easy-Cheap-Effective-Rugged-Safe extraction method that has been developed for the determination of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities (fruits and vegetables).
