Welch Materials develops and manufactures Chromatography consumables including HPLC columns, Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) columns, GC columns, sample vials, syringe filters, and chromatographic media.

Welch Materials was established in 2003 in both Maryland, USA and Shanghai, China. We are experts on bonding chemistry and innovative packing materials for chromatography applications. Through the optimal utilization of our resources across the two countries, we have developed many innovative chromatographic consumable products, including HPLC columns, SPE products and QuEChERS. UltisilTM, Welchrom®, XtimateTM and TopsilTM are registered trademarks of Welch Materials. Over the past several years, these high quality products have become widely accepted by analytical chemists in many countries, especially in China, US, and Europe.

In 2003, M Anastassisdes developed a simple way to prepare food samples for pesticide analysis. It’s called QuEChERS (pronounced as “Catchers”), an acronym for Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe. With QuEChERS, you could prepare your samples in multi-class, multi-residue pesticide analysis while saving time and money. Welch Materials provides high quality, competitive price Welchrom® QuEChERS for your sample preparation.

• Saving time and money for your sample preparation

• High quality, best reproducibility

• Lowest contamination

• Lower cost as compared to other brands

 

QuEChERS extraction method is designed for multi-residue pesticide analysis of fruits and vegetables with high water content (80%-95%). Some compounds will interfere the detection of target pesticide, such as chlorophyll, fatty acid, pigment, which could be removed by QuEChERS.

Some QuEChERS methods add buffers during the extraction step. Two most common methods are the European Committee for Standardization (CEN 15662) method which applies citrate buffer for extraction and the Association of Analytical Communities (AOAC 2007.01) method using acetic acid buffer.
For low-water content fruits and vegetables, additional water needs to be added to optimize the extraction. For high-fatty content fruits and vegetables, C18E should be added to remove it. For high-pigment content fruits and vegetables, graphicarb should be added.

Transfer homogenized sample (10g or 15g) to 50ml tube, then add extraction solvent and salt, shake for one minute, centrifuge > 1500rcf for 1 minute.
