Cleanup of pesticide Residues

Phenomenex introduces Roq Quechers kits (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) for the cleanup of multiple pesticide residues in food prior to HPLC or GC analysis. The kits offer a number of usability features specifically designed to facilitate and improve the largely manual technique. Rigorously tested tubes and superior tube caps ensure leak-free performance.

The low-extractable tubes ensure the cleanest possible extracts. In addition, flat-bottom centrifuge tubes are designed to stand upright so they can be easily placed on a scale for sample weighing. The salt packets have a unique, easy-pour design that minimizes spills. Quechers is a two-step sample preparation approach for the extraction and analysis of multiple residues, which are difficult to target with selective techniques such as SPE. The technique extracts a wide range of compounds of various chemical structures and removes unwanted interferences in the sample.
