Fast Screening of Pesticide Multiresidues in Aqueous Samples by Dual Stir Bar Sorptive Extraction (Dual SBSE) and Thermal Desorption – Fast GC/MS using a Low Thermal Mass Column Heater (LTM)

Abstract

App Note 12/2006

A method for fast screening of pesticide multi-residues in aqueous samples using dual stir bar sorptive extraction (dual SBSE) – thermal desorption (TD) – fast GC/MS has been developed. Recovery of 82 pesticides – organochlorine, carbamate, organophosphorous, pyrethroid and others – for the SBSE. The method showed good linearity (r2 > 0.9900) and high sensitivity (limit of detection:< 10 ng/L) for most of the target pesticides. The method was applied to the determination of pesticides at ng/L levels in river water and brewed green tea.
