Comparison of Pesticide Extraction in Agricultural Products Using a Manual Shaking Method and Mechanical Mixing with the Geno/Grinder®

In this application note, samples of strawberry, apple, and green pepper were prepared for analysis using both the standard QuEChERS method and a modified method involving mechanical mixing using the Geno/Grinder. The Geno/Grinder is a mechanical disrupter that grinds and mixes materials using a rapid vertical motion. GC-MS results of samples prepared using both methods were compared.
