Restek GC Multiresidue Pesticide Standard Kit, Multi-pesticide reference standard set (9 vials), 32562

The Restek GC Multiresidue Pesticide Standard Kit (MPN 32562) represents a multi-component system solution, optimised in terms of metabolism and materials science, for the high-precision identification and quantification of pesticide residues in instrumental analysis. As a comprehensive set of reference materials, comprising nine separate mix vials and specially pre-configured for separation by capillary gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometric detectors (GC-MS/MS), this kit forms the metrological foundation for accredited B2B testing laboratories. For complex screenings in the fields of food safety, agricultural analysis or environmental monitoring, the precise calibration of these multi-pesticide mixtures is the primary criterion for validating hundreds of active substances simultaneously, whilst minimising damage to the material and ensuring process reliability.

Comprehensive coverage through 9 chemically compatible individual mixtures

The methodological basis of this kit is founded on an intelligent division of the pesticide components into nine separate, chemically compatible individual mixtures. Restek thereby reliably prevents undesirable cross-reactions, intermolecular rearrangements or premature degradation, which would inevitably occur when combining so many different classes of substances in a single matrix. The kit enables analysts to rapidly calibrate highly efficient multi-residue methods (such as the QuEChERS method) and to cover the entire spectrum of organophosphates, organochlorine pesticides, pyrethroids and modern herbicides/fungicides in a transient system.

Inertisation and maximum photolysis protection in bulk containers

The material-science protection of the sensitive analytes is ensured by the exclusive use of flame-fused, hermetically sealed amber glass ampoules. The deactivated borosilicate glass effectively protects the dissolved substances from transient UV radiation and adsorptive wall effects. The precisely balanced solvent system ensures that even poorly soluble pesticide components remain stable in solution at low storage temperatures, thereby preventing temperature-induced precipitation. This ensures excellent peak symmetry and reproducible retention times with every injection into the GC system.

Accredited validity in accordance with ISO 17034 for uncompromising audits

To ensure seamless integration into accredited quality management systems in accordance with GLP and GMP guidelines, the entire kit is supplied with detailed, manufacturer-certified certificates of analysis (CoA) for each of the 9 mixtures it contains. Thanks to Restek’s dual accreditation to ISO 17034 (reference material manufacturer) and ISO/IEC 17025, seamless metrological traceability to national standards (such as NIST) is permanently guaranteed. This provides laboratory managers and B2B purchasers with a legally compliant documentation basis for regulatory inspections and demanding audit processes.

Individual requirements & accessories

To ensure the optimal and safe handling of the complex Residue Kit 32562 in your chromatographic routine, we stock a comprehensive range of suitable accessories. For shatter-free, gentle opening of the sensitive glass ampoules, we recommend our ergonomic ampoule openers. For precise, loss-free sampling and the preparation of dilution series in the microlitre range, we offer high-precision Hamilton gas syringes as well as calibrated analytical pipettes. For final sample injection into the autosampler, we stock certified GC vials (threaded vials) with precisely pre-fitted septa. For high-resolution substance separation, we also offer the appropriate Restek capillary columns (such as the Rxi-5ms or Rxi-65TG). Please make use of our technical procurement service to design your analytical infrastructure to suit your specific needs.
