General description

Suitable for extracting ~10 g food/agricultural sample. The citrate is used to buffer the extraction to pH 5.0 - 5.5. At this pH, most acid and base labile pesticides are. The sodium bicarbonate is used to further stablize acid labile pesticides.
Dispersive SPE (dSPE), often referred to as the "QuEChERS" method (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe), is modern sample prep technique that is becoming increasingly popular in the area of multi-residue pesticide analysis in food and agricultural products.

Using the QuEChERS method, food/agricultural samples are first extracted with an aqueous miscible solvent (e.g., acetonitrile) in the presence of high amounts of salts (e.g., sodium chloride and magnesium sulfate) and/or buffering agents (e.g. citrate) to induce liquid phase separation and stabilize acid and base labile pesticides, respectively. Upon shaking and centrifugation, an aliquot of the organic phase is subjected to further cleanup using SPE. Unlike traditional methods using SPE tubes, in dispersive SPE, cleanup is facilitated by mixing bulk amounts of SPE (e.g., Supelclean PSA, ENVI-Carb, and/or Discovery DSC-18) with the extract. After sample cleanup, the mixture is centrifuged and the resulting supernatant can either be analyzed directly or can be subjected to minor further treatment before analysis.

Supelco carries a line of vials and centrifuge tubes containing pre-determined amounts of salts and SPE sorbents to support the most common method configurations used today.

Articles

SPE retention mechanism in this case is based on the electrostatic attraction of charged functional groups of the analyte(s) to oppositely charged functional groups on the sorbent.

Protocols

Normal-phase SPE separates analytes based on polar interaction with sorbents in diverse sample matrices.
