Foods of animal origin - Multimethod for the determination of pesticide residues using LC-based analysis following acetonitrile extraction/partitioning and clean-up by dispersive SPE EN 18082:2026

Publication date:   Apr 16, 2026

Scope

This document specifies a method for the analysis of pesticide residues in foods of animal origin with a low fat content, such as meat/muscle, egg or milk by LC-MS/MS. Because of the low material requirements for miniaturized processing and the few work steps, the process is particularly time and cost-saving with high reliability and effectiveness. The method has been collaboratively studied on a number of commodity/pesticide combinations. Precision data are summarized in Table B.1. Guidelines for calibration are outlined in CEN/TS 17061:2019.
