CHROMABOND® QuEChERS extraction buffer mixes / clean-up mixes
QuEChERS method and pre-mixesWithin a few years after its devleopment by Anastassiades et al. the QuEChERS method has gained a leading position for determination of pesticide residues in food by GC-MS or LC-MS allowing rapid and cheap clean-up of strong matrix-contaminated samples.Standard clean-up of food samples10 g sample are homogenised with 10 ml acetonitrile. After adding the internal standard the sample is shaken with 4 g MgSO4 and 1 g NaCI and afterwards centrifuged. 1 ml of the supernantant is spiked with 25 mg CHROMABOND® Diamino and 150 mg MgSO4 and shaken again. After centrifugation the supernatant is injected into the GC/MS.Extraction mixtures for sample preparation for determination of pesticides in food samples.MACHEREY-NAGEL offers a number of individually weighed and pre-mixed buffers and extraction mixtures, specially composed for different sample matrices.Mix I and Mix II are extraction mixtures, Mix III to Mix VI are clean-up mixtures.The food samples will be extracted with either Mix I or Mix II.Afterwards they will be purified with one of the following mixtures:Mix III (samples with low fat content; e.g. apples, strawberries),Mix IV (moderate content of chlorophyll and carotinoids; e. g. carrots, lettuce),Mix V (high content of chlorophyll and carotinoids; e. g. bell peppers, spinach),Mix VI (high fat content; e. g. avocados).Every mix is prepacked in a 15 ml centrifuge tube. Pack of 50 pieces.

Not suited for very strong anions such as sulphonic acids, because these are difficult to elute.Recommended application: organic acids, caffeine, saccharin.

CHROMABOND® SiOH
Unmodified silica phase for SPEUnmodified, weakly acidic silica, pore size 60Å, particle size 45µm, specific surface 500m²/g, pH stability 2 to 8, very polar, adsorbs humidity from air, for this reason it should be kept well closed and if necessary dried before use due to its high affinity for polar compounds it should not be conditioned with polar (e.g. methanol) or water-containing solvents.Recommended applications: aflatoxins, chloramphenicol, pesticides, steroids, vitamins.

CHROMABOND® SiOH-H2SO4/SA
Combination phase for SPE analysis of PCBsH2SO4: H2SO4-impregnated silica phase for oxidation of accompanying compounds to ionic and/or polar compounds.SA: strongly acidic cation exchanger based on silica with benzenesulphonic acid modification for removal of ionic and sulphur-containing compounds.Recommended application: extraction of PCBs from oil with reference to German industrial standard DIN 51527, part 1. This combination column is used together with a SiOH column.
