Quantitation of over 1,000 pesticide residues in tomato according to SANTE 11312/2021 guideline

Agilent Technologies
23 Jul 2024

Residues of pesticides remaining in or on commodities such as fruits, vegetables, or cereals can cause adverse health effects as well as environmental concerns. In Europe, pesticide testing laboratories adhere to the SANTE 11312/2021 guideline, which ensures a consistent approach for controlling maximum residue levels (MRLs) that are legally permitted in food or animal feed, and requires an elaborate analysis. Agilent highlights a workflow that will help streamline routine pesticide analysis, analyzing over 1,000 pesticide residues in tomato using a single QuEChERS extraction for sample preparation.
