Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To develope a multi-residue analytical method for the determination of 156 kinds of pesticide residues in Trichosanthis Fructus by QuEChERS-SPE-UHPLC-MS/MS.
METHODS The samples were extracted with acetonitrile containing 1% acetic acid, dehydrated by MgSO
4, simply purified by a mixed cleaning agents of MgSO
4, PSA, and C
18, and further cleaned by SPE column(Waters Prime HLB, 3 mL, 60 mg), separated on a Waters Cortecs C
18+ column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 1.6 μm) and detected by UHPLC-MS/MS with positive and multiple reaction monitoring mode(MRM).
RESULTS The results of all the 156 kinds pesticides showed good linearity in the range of 5-200 μg·L
-1(
r<0.995). The average recoveries ranged from 74.9% to 116.4%, with the relative standard deviations(RSDs) from 1.0% to 5.6%, the limits of detection(LODs) of the method were among 0.02-20 μg·kg
-1, and the limits of quantification (LOQs) were among 0.06-50 μg·kg
-1.
CONCLUSION The method is simple, accurate and sensitive, can be used for the determination of multi type pesticides in Trichosanthis Fructus.
