DIN EN 12393-3:2014-01 EN 12393-3:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard comprises a range of multi-residue methods of equal status: no single method can be identified as the
26、prime method because, in this field, methods are continuously developing. The selected methods included in this European Standard have been validated and/or are widely used throughout Europe. Because these methods can be applied to the very wide range of food commodities/pesticide combinations, usin
27、g different systems for determination, there are occasions when variations in equipment used, extraction, clean-up and chromatographic conditions are appropriate to improve method performance, see Clause 3. DIN EN 12393-3:2014-01 EN 12393-3:2013 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard gives guidance on
28、 some recommended techniques for the determination of pesticide residues in foods of plant origin and on confirmatory tests. The identity of any observed pesticide residue is confirmed, particularly in those cases in which it would appear that the maximum residue limit has been exceeded. 2 Normative
29、 references Not applicable. 3 General The methods specified in this European Standard permit identification and quantification of pesticide residues by gas chromatography using selective detectors or liquid chromatography with tandem-mass spectrometric detector (LC-MS/MS). All relevant results requi
30、re confirmation of identity and quantity. The procedures listed for confirmation such as alternative GC columns, alternative GC detectors, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), column fractionation, derivatisation, spectral measurements, etc. are all of value. Results obtained using mass sp
31、ectrometry (MS) present the most definitive evidence for confirma-tion/identification purpose. As already described in the introduction, in certain occasions it is possible to improve the method performance by variations in equipment used, extraction, clean-up and chromatographic conditions. Such va
32、riations shall be always clearly documented and demonstrated to give valid results. 4 Determination 4.1 General 4.1.1 Identification A number of parameters can be employed to determine the identity of an analyte present in the sample extract. This includes: a) retention time of the analyte in questi
33、on (RT) or, even better, the retention time ratio against the ISTD (Rt(A)/Rt(ISTD) obtained from the same run (the simultaneous use of columns of different polarity improves this type of identification); b) in case of MS or MS/MS detection, the relative abundance of simultaneously recorded signals (
34、in general 3 ions are required in MS applications and 2 SRM transitions in MS/MS); c) the application of high resolution mass spectrometry; d) in case of MS with electron impact ionisation the comparison of the full scan mass spectrum of a suspected peak (when indicated after subtraction of backgrou
35、nd) with spectral libraries; DIN EN 12393-3:2014-01 EN 12393-3:2013 (E) 6 e) the quantification of equivalent amounts with different specific GC detectors, such as electron capture (ECD), nitrogen-phosphorous (NPD) or flame photometric (FPD) detector. The parameters obtained for the analyte to be id
36、entified in the sample extract are compared with those obtained for the pesticides in the calibration solution(s). Should a higher degree of certainty be required for the confirmation of the analyte identity, additional measures may be necessary, such as the use of different chromatographic separati
37、on conditions or the evaluation of additional m/z or SRM-transitions. The occurrence of several stable isotopes of certain elements (e.g. Cl, Br, S) may be very helpful to identify substances by MS techniques. For more information about the required identification criteria, see 1. 4.1.2 Quantificati
38、on For quantification, a chromatographic system calibrated with an sufficient number of appropriately distributed calibration points has to be used. The precision of calibration has to fulfil minimum requirements. Make sure that all the measurements are performed within the calibrated range of the s
39、ystem. In exceptional cases only, single-level calibration may be used. It has to be checked that the response of analytes present in complex mixtures does not differ from the response of separate analytes. Mixtures of isomers, degradation products and derivatives of analytes may require special con
40、ditions during calibration. For calibration, either standards in solvents or standards prepared in blank matrix (matrix-matched standards) may be used. If matrix effects during GC injection or atmospheric pressure ionisation cannot be excluded, the use of matrix-matched standards or, even better, a
41、quantification by standard addition has to be preferred. To detect instable detector response or such errors, which influence the amount of the analyte in the final extract, one or more internal standards should be added either to extracts or before extraction. To consider specific losses of individ
42、ual analytes or their matrix effects, stable isotope labelled standards (if available) may be added to the sample before extraction. All signals automatically identified by software tools may be considered as potential pesticide residues. However, any final quantification of relevant pesticide resid
43、ues should be based on visual inspection of chromatograms. Before this European Standard can be used to quantify pesticides which are not tested before, a complete initial method validation is required. In all other cases, an on-going performance verification is sufficient to demonstrate the accurac
44、y of the analytical method in a given laboratory. For more information about the required quantification criteria, see 1 in its current version. 4.2 Gas chromatography (GC) 4.2.1 General The detectors (see EN 12393-1:2013, 3.4) should be properly adjusted, according to the manufacturers instructions
45、. Variations in detector sensitivity should be checked periodically by verifying the linearity of the calibration curves using standard solutions of pesticides. The measurement may be performed using various instruments, instrument parameters and columns. Some suitable instrument parameters and colu
46、mns are listed in Annexes A and B. For suitable experimental conditions of GC-MS measurement, see 2. For suitable experimental conditions of GC-MS/MS measurement, see 3. It has been found in practice that equivalent results can be achieved despite the adoption of different GC conditions, and differe
47、nt vendors of instruments. On the other hand, specifying standard GC parameters does not guarantee that the quality of the results generated will be identical. DIN EN 12393-3:2014-01 EN 12393-3:2013 (E) 7 4.2.2 GC columns Columns should be conditioned for at least 24 h at a temperature near the maxi
48、mum recommended operating temperature with the type of stationary phase used and should then be tested for their efficiency and selectivity at the required operating temperature using standard mixtures of pesticides. The end of the column should always be disconnected from the detector during conditioning. Pure (oxygen-free) and dry (water-free) nitrogen, hydrogen or helium should be used as carrier gas. The flow rate depends on the size and type of column used. Generally, ensure that gas flow rates are controlled a
