QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged and safe) extraction

https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.10230
Streamlined multiresidue method for extraction and clean-up of analytes in complex matrices.
Notes:
  1. Often used for samples containing pesticide residues.
  2. The general procedure includes micro-scale extraction with acetonitrile, salt-assisted phase separation, and sample clean up using dispersive solid-phase extraction.
  3. There are several procedural variations of the general method for application to particular compounds or sample matrices.
