Advantages of QuEChERS products ("Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe") compared to classical purification methods: Easy handling and time-saving procedure and no need for glassware (practical and economical). Low consumption of solvents and no need for chlorinated solvents (environmentally friendly). A wide range of pesticides can be detected. The method is robust and can provide high and reliable recovery rates. The QuEChERS method (pronounced like "catchers") introduced in 2003 by Anastassiades et al. and continued development led to an expansion of ready-to-use mixtures. QuEChERS became the method of choice in sample preparation for the analysis of pesticides and drugs in fruits, vegetables and other matrices. CHROMABOND QuEChERS Mix L is ideal for PFAS analysis.
