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

Traditionally, clean-up of QuEChERS extracts for pesticide residue analysis relies on dispersive solid phase extraction (dSPE). The dSPE workflow requires that the sample is shaken with the dSPE media and then centrifuged to separate the clean sample extract.

Alternatively, ISOLUTE® cSPE for QuEChERS columns are packed with QuEChERS ‘dispersive SPE’ sorbent blends allowing convenient flow-through sample processing using column solid phase extraction (cSPE). In addition, the cSPE workflow can be automated on a Biotage® Extrahera^TM sample preparation workstation leading to increased throughput, reduced errors, and improved data quality.
