Background:Increased consumer demand for curry leaves free from pesticides demands fast and reliable analytical methods for the analysis of pesticide residues.Objective:The optimization of a QuEChERS based sample preparation technique with improved analytical accuracy by removing interfering matrix components for LC-MS/MS analysis of pesticide residues from curry leaves.Methods:A modified QuEChERS solid phase extraction method was developed and validated for the analysis of 26 pesticides in fresh and dried curry leaves. The effects of the sample preparation steps and column retention time on the matrix suppression of analyte ions were also evaluated.Results:Validation parameters were found within an acceptable range. The matrix effect evaluation studies showed that the QuEChERS sample preparation was able to minimize the ion suppression of analytes due to co-eluting matrix of components and that a d-SPE clean up step had major role in reducing matrix effect. The gradient mobile phase with longer retention time for analytes resulted in comparatively lesser matrix effects than the isocratic mobile phase of non-polar nature. Even after the clean up, a considerable number of compounds had more than 20% reduction in their MS response in the gradient mobile phase.Conclusion:This study emphasized the need of proper sample clean up before a LC-MS/MS analysis and the usage of matrix matched standards and mobile phase that ultimately results in an appropriate analyte separation in reasonable retention times.

A simple multi-residue method based on QuEChERS-sample preparation was developed for the determination of eight trichothecene mycotoxins (nivalenol, fusarenon-x, diacetoxyscirpenol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, neosolaniol, deoxynivalenol, T-2 and HT-2 toxins) in pollen, using gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry. The developed method was validated by evaluating the following parameters: linearity, limit of quantification, matrix effect and precision of measurements. All mycotoxins showed good linearity. The method gave good recoveries (91-104%) with RSDs ] 11% for most of the analites (6 out of 8). The limits of quantification varied from 1 to 4�g�kg--1.

In recent years, there has been a great increase in seizures and forensic analysis of new psychotropic substances (NPS) in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. The analysis of these compounds needs to be performed in biological samples in cases of violent deaths. A sensitive and reliable liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with electrospray ionization interface (LC-ESI-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for qualitative analysis of 51 NPS in whole blood forensic samples. Synthetic cathinones, phenethylamines, opioids, tryptamines, synthetic cannabinoids, and other hallucinogens and stimulants were included in the method. The validation parameters assessed were specificity, limit of detection, retention time precision, and matrix effect. Drug free pools (n=6) were used for validation, including post mortem samples as well as from living individuals. Adulterants, pharmaceuticals, metabolites, and other illicit drugs, totalling 39 compounds, were analyzed and no interference was noticed. The detection limits obtained were suitable for evaluation at recreational and non-fatal levels of consumption, mostly. The results revealed an appropriate matrix effect in 24 out of 51 substances tested, indicating the potential for future quantitative analysis with this method for these drugs. The developed and validated method is easy to implement, fast, with low cost, and suitable for use in routine forensic toxicology laboratory analysis.
