Method Introduction

The QuEChERS method is a residue detection method for multiple target objects in the analysis of pesticide residues in the matrix with high water content (80-95%). It is the fast version of SPE with the similar purification effect, but its treatment steps are more concise. QuEChERS method has the characteristics of time saving, high efficiency and economical. There may be a large number of chlorophyll, lipid, steroid or other compounds in sample matrix of food, animal products and so on. These extracts can seriously interfere with the analysis of target substance, while QuEChERS method can effectively reduce these problems. With a few simple steps. it can complete the preparation of pesticide residues and other samples. Nowadays, this method has been widely accepted worldwide, if it is applied to your project, you will find that it can significantly reduce the time required for method development and pretreatment.
