Supel™ QuE Verde combines a novel carbon with zirconia coated silica (Z-Sep+) to provide an optimum balance between planar pesticide recovery and color removal.
Sigma-Aldrich presents an article about the analysis of melamine and related compounds in dog food with the use of more economical gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrumentation.
Pistachios contain approximately 45% fat, which can result in a significant amount of coextracted matrix in the acetonitrile extract generated using the QuEChERS procedure. A zirconia based adsorbent significantly reduces coextracted matrix prior to LC-MS or GC-MS.
A procedure for cleanup of green tea extracts provides low background and allowed for the analysis of more pesticides at lower levels than QuEChERS. Uses less solvents and no toluene.
A sensitive, quantitative, and reproducible SPME-GC/MS procedure was developed by Supelco for the extraction of phthalate esters from oily food matrices, such as the flavored oils included with ramen noodle kits.
The odor and pungency of ginger is due to the presence of terpenes, gingerols and shogaols. These compounds contribute to the highly complex matrix of ginger, which subsequently presents a challenge in low level analyses of contaminants. A novel 2-layer
