White Paper 72048
All multi-residue methods will have limitations requiring inevitable comprises. There is no universal best method for all laboratories. The best method for individual laboratories will depend on many factors including the pesticide-matrix combinations to be tested, customer requirements, guidelines or regulations to be complied with, any requirements from accreditation bodies, instrumentation and facilities available, etc. The likelihood is that laboratories will need to implement a number of different extraction and cleanup methods in combination with detection technologies. Hopefully this paper will be helpful in understanding some of the critical
stages, advantages, and limitations of the most widely used methods.
