Analysis of Pesticides in Fruit and Vegetable Products Using a Standard QuEChERS Method and a Modified Method Involving the Geno/Grinder

In this application note, the Geno/Grinder was employed to homogenize the fruit/vegetable samples and to mix the produce rapidly and thoroughly with the salts and solvent in an effort to improve the extraction step. The goal of the study was to determine whether the use of the Geno/Grinder during the extraction step would increase pesticide recovery over the traditional, manual QuEChERS method.
