Automated Clean-up of Pesticides in Oats using ISOLUTE® cSPE for QuEChERS

This application note describes the extraction of a panel of 77 commonly analyzed pesticides from oats using a two-step QuEChERS workflow. Samples are first homogenized and extracted with ISOLUTE® EN QuEChERS extraction salts using the Biotage® Lysera™ bead mill homogenizer. Following centrifugation, an aliquot of extract is cleaned-up using ISOLUTE® cSPE for QuEChERS columns and processed using a Biotage® Extrahera™ automated sample preparation workstation. Extracts are evaporated using TurboVap® Dual 96 and analysis is performed using GC-MS.
