Phenomenex roQ QuEChERS Kits

Phenomenex has introduced roQ QuEChERS kits for the cleanup of multiple pesticide residues in food prior to HPLC or GC analysis.

The kits offer a number of features specifically designed to facilitate and improve the largely manual QuEChERS technique. Rigorously tested tubes and tube caps ensure leak-free performance. The low-extractable tubes ensure clean extracts. In addition, roQ flat-bottom centrifuge tubes are designed to stand upright so they can be easily placed on a scale for sample weighing. The roQ salt packets have an easy-pour design that minimises spills.

QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) is a two-step sample preparation approach for the extraction and analysis of multiple residues, which are difficult to target with selective techniques such as SPE. The technique extracts a wide range of compounds of various chemical structures and removes unwanted interferences in the sample. Phenomenex’s roQ is compatible with official methods from AOAC International and the Committee of European Normalisation (CEN).

A wide range of roQ QuEChERS extraction and dispersive SPE (dSPE) kits is available to meet the needs of different food matrices. Phenomenex offers a range of solutions for subsequent high-resolution analysis of multiresidues by LC or GC.
