Expectations #

A sample preparation procedure for pesticide residue analysis should have the following properties:

1. include the highest possible number of pesticides (multiresidue assay);
2. have recoveries as close as possible to 100%;
3. remove potential interfering compounds in the sample to improve selectivity;
4. allow increasing concentration of the analytes;
5. have appropriate precision and ruggedness; and
6. be quick, easy, safe, and cost-wise.

Sample Preparation Methods #

1. Dilute-and-shoot
2. QUECHERS
3. Matrix solid-phase extraction
4. Solid-phase extraction
