Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) using standard cartridges is widely regarded as the method of choice to extract analytes from samples with complex matrices or to extract and concentrate analytes from a wide variety of samples in general.

A multi-residue method for determination of five groups of 85 pesticides - organochlorine, carbamate, organophosphorous, pyrethroid and others - in non-fatty food, e.g. vegetables, fruits and green tea is described. The method is based on stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coupled to thermal desorption...

A multi-residue method to determine five groups of 85 pesticides - chlorinated, carbamate, phosphorous, pyrethroid and others - in vegetables, fruits and green tea has been developed using stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) coupled to thermal desorption and retention time locked (RTL) GC-MS.
