Food safety testing has grown over the last 10 years. The diverse nature of the samples add complexity making method standardization challenging. However, default methodology, for solid-matrix pesticide analysis is firmly centered around QuEChERS
(Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) followed by dSPE (Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction) clean up. Both techniques are manual, labor intensive and typically difficult to automate. This poster will present the use of a dedicated automation platform combined with a prototype “dSPE” cartridge for improved workflow for pesticide extraction from food matrices.
