ISOLUTE QuEChERS products provide clean and efficient extraction for a variety of complex samples, reducing sample preparation to approximately 20 minutes to extract concentration (evaporation stage).

This study investigates the potential of commercially available QuEChERS kits for the extraction and clean-up of a suite of common over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceuticals from water and sludge cake. Extracts are analysed using LC-MS-MS.
