Validation of a Modified QuEChERS Method for the Determination of 167 Pesticides in Milk and Milk Products by LC-MS/MS

A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) extraction cleaning process was comprehensively validated for determination of 167 pesticide residues in three matrices: milk, cheese and cream. Optimisation of the mass spectrometry parameters was performed by injecting pesticide standard solutions into the electrospray ion (ESI) source. The mass...
