Walk away QuEChERS extracts clean-up
See this detailed video of the µSPE workflow for the clean-up of raw pesticides extract. The PAL µSPE Cartridge is operated in scavenger mode eluting the pesticides in a clean extract. The matrix is kept on the sorbent material. The cleaned extract can be injected without waiting time online for LC/MS or GC/MS analysis. All samples are treated on the same time axis for highest reliability.
Advantages of automated and miniaturized µSPE clean-up in pesticides residues analysis
Recent developments in pesticides analysis extend the well-established methods to higher productivity and reliability while minimizing consumption and exposition to harmful chemicals. A workflow was developed that allows automatic preparation of calibration standards, automatic sample dilution, and automatic clean-up of sample extracts on one instrument, showing that miniaturized automated solutions are reducing errors, improving analytical consistency and protecting the environment in one convenient approach.

Automated Sample Preparation for pesticides using QuEChERS extraction and cleanup
The QuEChERS analysis method is a popular Solid Phase Extraction method used for the analysis of pesticide residues in food. However, there are analytical and logistical limitations during cleanup. The Webinar shows two workflow variations for high sample throughput in online GC/MS and LC/MS analysis.

Analysis of Highly Polar Pesticides
Micro-SPE (μSPE) emerged as an automated green micromethod for sample preparation and clean-up in food safety, proteomics, forensic, environmental and analysis since more than ten years. Applications are wideranging and cover drugs, environmental contaminants, and, in particular, the extract clean-up in multiresidue pesticide analysis. The automation of the μSPE sample preparation steps led to the desired standardization of the applied sorbent materials for extract clean-up for the large variety of food commodities, an increase in sample throughput, and the welcome potential for offline and online hyphenation with GC/MS, LC/MS or even IC analysis.
Automated Mini‑Column Solid‑Phase Extraction Cleanup for High‑Throughput Analysis of Chemical Contaminants in Foods
This study demonstrated the application of an automated high-throughput mini-SPE cleanup for the analysis of pesticides and environmental contaminants in QuEChERS extracts of foods.
Fully Automated QuEChERS Extraction and Clean-up for homogeneous matrices
A fully automated, true green analytical method, for high sensitivity and precision pesticide analysis. This report describes for the first time a fully automated QuEChERS extraction and clean-up workflow for homogeneous matrices like fruit juices, demonstrated for orange juice.
Automated Clean-up of QuEChERS Extracts for GC-MS and LC-MS

Characterization of the New PAL micro-SPE Cartridge for Pesticides Extract Clean-up
Since more than ten years micro-SPE (µSPE) emerged as a micromethod for sample preparation and clean-up in food safety, proteomics, forensic, environmental and analysis. Applications are wide-ranging and cover drugs, environmental contaminants, and, in particular, the QuEChERS extract cleanup in multiresidue pesticide analysis. The automation of the µSPE sample preparation steps led to the desired increase in sample throughput, unification of the used sorbent materials for food commodities, and the potential for the online hyphenation with GC/MS and LC/MS instrumentation.
Direct injection of μSPE extracts into LCMS: automated clean-up meets high-throughput analysis
The μSPE direct injection workflow has been optimized and used for the high-throughput cleanup of liquid samples. Several μSPE cartridges are currently being tested by LCMS for the cleanup of complex sample matrices containing various pesticides and drugs, in order to further validate the performance of the direct μSPE-LCMS workflow in different use cases.
Fully Automated QuEChERS for Organochlorine and Organophosphate Pesticides in Tomato Juice and Red Wine
Using PAL Robotic Tool Change (RTC) system, a fully automated QuEChERS was developed for the extraction and clean-up of organochlorine and organophosphate pesticides from homogeneous samples. The automated QuEChERS workflow includes extraction with acetonitrile, salting out with
saturated sodium chloride solution and the clean-up with PAL μSPE prior to injection into the GC-MS/MS for analysis.
Time and Money Savings by the Implementation of Automated μSPE for Cleanup of QuEChERS Extracts of Veterinary Drugs
In this poster presentation, we compare two workflows for the cleanup of multi-class veterinary drugs in animal tissue matrices, based on the Thermo Scientific™ VetDrugs Explorer Collection (P/N VDX-TSQ02-10001, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham MA, USA).
