23 September 2013

This application note describes the analysis of pesticides in fruit and vegetable samples using UHPLC with a PDA detector. The extraction of samples was performed using the QuEChER method. Results demonstrate that the chromatographic analysis obtained with UHPLC enables the pesticides under investigation to be characterized with high precision identification and good sensitivity over the range 40 µg-4,000 kg in less than 16 minutes.
