SPME for the Analysis of Agricultural Pesticides in Wine

SPME for the Analysis of Agricultural Pesticides in Wine

21 Apr 2016

This application note demonstrates the usefulness of SPME in the low-level extraction of agricultural pesticides from wine, and the use of the SLB-5ms in the subsequent analysis. The pesticides chosen for the analysis represent a group of insecticides and fungicides that could be found in commercial wines. These compounds contain a variety of polar functional groups, and the polyacrylate fiber provided the selectivity necessary for extraction from a wine matrix. The inertness and low bleed of the SLB-5ms enabled subsequent low-level analysis of these compounds by GC-MS.

SLB-5ms Capillary GC Column

Sigma-Aldrich Supelco

SLB-5ms Capillary GC Column Application: The 5% phenyl equivalent phase provides a boiling point elution order with a slight increase in selectivity, especially for aromatic compounds. The low bleed characteristics, inertness, and durable nature make it the column of choice for environmental analytes (such as semivolatiles, pesticides, PCBs, and herbicides) or anywhere a low bleed non-polar column is required. USP Code: This column meets USP G27 and G36 requirements. Phase: Bonded and highly crosslinked; silphenylene polymer virtually equivalent in polarity to poly(5% diphenyl/95% dimethyl siloxane) Temp. Limits: ≤0.32 mm I.D.: -60 °C to 340 °C (isothermal) or 360 °C (programmed) Temp. Limits: ≥0.53 mm I.D.: -60 °C to 330 °C (isothermal) or 340 °C (programmed)
