Sample Preparation Webinar QuEChERS 101: The Basics and Beyond
QuEChERS: Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged & Safe
In this webinar, we discuss in detail the QuEChERS extraction procedure from the point of product arrival through extraction, dispersive SPE and on to analysis.
Factors that affect recovery and increase throughput re presented in addition to future applications for QuEChERS, reaching far beyond pesticides in food products.
What you will learn:
- New users will gain a basic understanding of the QuEChERS method and its benefits.
- Experienced users will learn about new advances and optimization of the QuEChERS methodology.
- Discover the unique feature and advantages of the Agilent QuEChERS kits.

Please Note: This is a self-paced webinar.
More information
QuEChERS is a sample preparation technique that came to fruition in 2003, based on the efforts of scientists from USDA and EU food regulatory agencies.
Their primary goal was to develop a single method for the analysis of multi-classes of pesticides in food products; since at the time the primary sample preparation technique involved multiple Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) methods. QuEChERS is as easy as 1-2-3.
- Extraction of compounds from product with excess salts.
- Dispersive SPE of the extract to remove interfering matrix effects.
- Analysis by either GC or LC and MS.
