biocommaIntroduction
QuEChERS is widely used to detect pesticide residuesin plant-based foods. Biocomma introduces the Copure®24-Well Pesticide Residue Purification Plates enablingrapid, high-throughput analysis with Biocomma® PositivePressure 24 Processor system and sample vial tray. Nosyringe filtration is required prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.Biocomma® established a high-throughput LC-MS/MS method with simplified operation and better resultstability for detecting 26 pesticide residues in corn. Therecoveries were 60-120% with CV values below 10% atboth 1 ng/g and 5 ng/g concentrations, which is close totraditional QuEChERS methods for your reference.
Experiment
Extraction (Copure® QuEChERS, Cat. #: COQ050020H)
Chop the samples and grind evenly. Weigh 5.0 g ofsample into a 50 mL centrifuge tube. Add 15 mL ofacetonitrile (1% acetic acid) and vortex mix for 5 min.Add a pack of QuEChERS extraction salt and shakevigorously for 1 min. Vortex for 5 min, then centrifugeat 5000 r/min for 5 min. The upper acetonitrile layer isready for purification.
Purification (Copure ® 24-Well Pesticide ResiduePurification Plates, Cat. #: NC24003)
Place the 24-well purification plate on a Biocomma®24-Well Vial Tray. Add 2 mL of prepared sample. Placethe purification plate and vial tray on the Biocomma®Positive Pressure 24 Processor. Turn on the gas. Makesure the wells of purification plate are positioned directlyunder the gas vent. Adjust the gas flow until all thesample filter into the sample vials. Screw on the capsand the sample is ready for analysis.
