Sample Preparation Methods for Pesticides Analysis in Food Matrices and Environmental Samples by Chromatography-Based Techniques: A Review

Much attention has been made in pesticide analysis to improve agricultural productivity and control these compounds in food and environmental samples. Different methods have been applied in pesticide analysis, among these; methods based on chromatographic separation with mass spectrometric detection have been extremely useful methods for determination of pesticide residues. Despite employing of powerful instrumental techniques, the risk of interference increases with the complexity of the matrix studied, so sample preparation prior to instrumental analysis is necessary. This article reviews the analytical characteristics of the different sample preparation methods for determination of pesticide residues in food and environmental samples and biological fluids, moreover this study describes advantages, disadvantages and details on the analytical characteristics of the procedure that have been applied recently in different sample preparation methods and their application s in combination with chromatographic mass spectrometric analysis. This article provides selection of a reliable method which will be useful for the quantitative analysis of pesticide residues in variety of samples based on their evaluation in recent applications.

Sample Preparation Methods

AbstractVarious sample preparation methods for Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) analysis of Portland cement were compared in order to evaluate improvement in analytical accuracy and precision. Sample preparation requirements for EDXRF are slightly different than for Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence (WDXRF), and the methods commonly used in WDXRF are not optimized for EDXRF. Primarily, the work focuses on techniques for producing a fused sample with the lowest practical concentration of lithium borate flux. Determination of minimum detection limits were made from samples with varying proportions of flux in order to evaluate analytical optimization. Ease and reproducibility of preparation of the sample was also considered.

Abstract The nitric-perchloric acid digestion, 22.070(b) and 22.073, for the determination of phosphorus in grains and stock feeds was compared with three other methods of sample preparation (destruction of organic material) : quinoline molybdate precipitation, perchloric-sulfuric-sodium molybdate digestion, and the plant method. The values obtained by the nitric-perchloric acid method were not in good agreement with those obtained by the other methods studied. Six samples of commercial feeds and one barley sample were analyzed. The barley sample gave very poor recoveries by method 22.073.
