Food & Agriculture Sample Preparation

Pesticide Analysis

Highlighted Applications

Pesticides from Fruit and Vegetables

Strawberries, soybeans and apples diced, homogenized and analyzed by GC-MS. When combined with the QuEChERs pesticide extraction method, high recoveries can be achieved from a variety of produce types.

Application Note Finder

Biotage offer a wide range of optimized application notes and our new Application Notes Finder is under construction. In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact us. Our team of application specialists is here to support you!
