Evaluation of EN15662:2008 - Determination of Pesticide Residue in Food of Plant Origin, by an Automated QuEChERS Solution

Introduction
Pesticide residue laboratories are required to undertake analyses of an ever increasing number of samples. The analyses typically involve use of multi-residue methods (both GC-MS and LC-MS) to test for over 500 pesticide residues. Due to its ease of use and proven robustness, the QuEChERS extraction has become the method of choice for pesticides multi-residue analyses in a wide range of matrices.

This study used laboratory spiked samples and samples previously shown to have incurred residues to validate the performance of implementing QuEChERS on a fully automated system for pesticides amenable to analysis by UHPLC-MS/MS.
