TI  - Multi-residue screening of pesticides in vegetables, fruits and baby food by stir 
      bar sorptive extraction-thermal desorption-capillary gas chromatography-mass 
      spectrometry.

AB  - The performance of stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) for the enrichment of 
      pesticides from vegetables, fruits and baby food samples is discussed. After 
      extraction with methanol, an aliquot is diluted with water and SBSE is performed 
      for 60 min. By applying a new thermal desorption unit (TDU), fully automated and 
      unattended desorption of 98 stir bars is feasible, making SBSE very 
      cost-effective. The presence of pesticide residues is elucidated with the 
      retention time locked gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy method (RTL-capillary 
      GC-MS). With SBSE-RTL-capillary GC-MS operated in the scan mode, more than 300 
      pesticides can be monitored in vegetables, fruits and baby food. The 
      multi-residue method (MRM) described provides detectabilities from the mg/kg 
      (ppm) to the sub-microg/kg (ppb) level, thereby complying with the maximum 
      residue levels (MRLs) set by regulatory organizations for pesticides in different 
      matrices. Several examples, i.e. pesticide residues in lettuce, pears, grapes and 
      baby food, illustrate the potential of SBSB-RTL-capillary GC-MS.
