Application Notes UCT-SP10:
A simple, high-throughput modified QuEChERS screening method for the analysis of 136 pesticides in highly fat rich avocado is described. The average recoveries for 79 pesticides by LC-MS/MS at 10, 50, and 200 ng/g fortifying levels were 86% or better (with maximum RSD at 9.2%). GC-MS/MS analysis demonstrated 70% recovery or better (RSD < 18%) from 57 pesticides at the same spike levels.
