    3. Cleanup of the extract using dispersive SPE (solid-phase extraction)

    4. Analysis of the cleaned-up extract using GC-MS or LC-MS

    The QuEChERS method is a robust and reliable technique for AOAC 2007.02 Pesticides in Honey by QuEChERS testing, offering:

  • High sensitivity and selectivity
  • Fast analysis time (typically <30 minutes)
  • Low cost and minimal waste generation
  • Robustness and ruggedness
  • QuEChERS Instrumentation and Equipment

    The following instrumentation and equipment are required for AOAC 2007.02 Pesticides in Honey by QuEChERS testing:

    1. Centrifuge or vortex mixer for homogenization of the honey sample

    2. Acetonitrile and other solvents for extraction and cleanup
