Polar pesticides and contaminants in one method

Sidebar Image

Benefit from more flexibility at attractive prices

Dec 2020. The vast majority of crop protection products can be detected by using a powerful multi-residue method, e.g. QuEChERS. However, for polar pesticides and contaminants, due to their specific chemical properties, it has so far been necessary to use individual or group methods. Eurofins has now introduced a new method for these polar substances covering several parameters for all plant matrices with only one extraction method and a maximum of two analytical LC-MS/MS runs.

Among these parameters are:

  • Fosetyl-Al / phosphonic acid
  • Chlorate / perchlorate
  • Chlormequat / mepiquat

Your advantages

  • Attractive pricing
    Significant price reduction if more than two parameters are ordered
  • Compliance with legislation and association requirements
    EC 396/2005 and BNN
  • Flexible ordering
    Modular method structure - adapted to your needs
  • Lower reporting limits
    Detection of phosphonic acid with an LoQ of 0.01 resp. 0.05*
  • New additional parameters available
    Amitrole, kasugamycin, matrine and many more
  • Sustainability
    through less chemical consumption compared to the individual methods

In addition to the analysis of polar analytes, we can offer you further multiscreening methods and of course still relevant single or group methods.
