Biotage has announced the release of its Biotage/IST Isolute Quechers (catchers) extraction and clean-up products for pesticide residue analysis.
These dispersive SPE (dSPE) products offer safe extraction of pesticides for multi-class, multi-residue pesticide analysis in vegetables and fruits.
Isolute Quechers contain a mixture of precisely measured chemical compounds as described in the AOAC and EU standard methods for the analysis of pesticide residues from fruit and vegetable samples.
Unlike liquid-liquid extraction and complicated solid-phase extraction methods, Quechers combine clean extracts with rapid work flow and ease of use to ensure reproducibility and fast sample preparation.
Biotage said that its Isolute Quechers are less expense, less labour intensive, more streamlined and faster than traditional methods.
The 15ml extraction and clean-up tubes contain sufficient sorbent to process 10g or 15g samples according to the AOAC and EN methodologies and allow for immediate sample mixing and transfer to larger 50ml sample tubes.
The shipping package contains 25 of the 15ml or 50ml tubes, serving as a disposable rack and eliminating the need to open individually sealed packages.
Biotage is currently offering one free box of Isolute Quechers with every box purchased to customers quoting reference code Q10-12.
