Analysis of Residues of Cypermethrin Mixtures in Food employing QuEChERS and LC-MS/MS
A new QuEChERS-based LC-MS/MS method was developed
allowing determination of cypermethrin-related residues in
food. LC-MS/MS achieves a good resolution of the four
cypermethrin enantiomeric pairs and circumvents the
quantification problems occurring in GC-applications due
to thermal isomerization. Sufficient sensitivity was
achieved to allow controlling the current MRLs of
cypermethrin and to separately quantify the share of the
toxicologically critical alpha-cypermethrin (cis-II) at
these levels.

UPDATE: Analysis of residues of dithiocarbamate fungicides in food of plant origin with low-oil content involving cleavage into carbon disulfide, partitioning into isooctane and measurement by GC-MS/MS or GC-ECD
The EURL common-moiety method for dithiocarbamate analysis in
food of plant origin with low-oil content via GC-methods was
updated. Type and volume of added tin(II)chloride salt for
the reductive cleavage were corrected.

The new version of the Method Finder List (MFL) is now on-line.
A new version of the Method Finder List (MFL-2024) is now
on-line. It shows a compilation of the compounds included
either in the EU-Multiannual control Programme (EU-MACP) or
in the SANCO/12745/2013 Working Dokument, which is to be
considered when designing National-MACPs. The MFL entails
links to EURL-Documents concerning the various compounds of
the list (e.g. method development reports, method
validation reports, analytical observation reports).

Compilation of Residue Findings of QuPPe Compounds in various types of samples in 2023
The compilation of residue findings of QuPPe compounds in
various food products, analysed in 2023, was uploaded. The
report additionally encompasses findings of ethylene oxide
/ 2-chloroethanol. Aim of these annual compilations of
residue findings is to help OfLs to localize analyte/matrix
combinations that are worthwhile monitoring.

Analysis of residues of dithiocarbamate fungicides in low-oil content food of plant origin involving cleavage into carbon disulfide, partitioning into isooctane and measurement by GC-MS/MS or GC-ECD
The EURL on the common-moiety method for
dithiocarbamate analysis in low-oil content food of plant
origin via GC-methods was updated, introducing a
miniaturization, optimized conditions for a better cleavage
of polymeric dithiocarbamates complexes and measurement via
GC-MS/MS.

Risk of False Positives of Chloridazon-Desphenyl in Honey by LC-MS/MS
A new EURL-SRM Analytical Observations Report concerning the
risk of false positive findings of chloridazon-desphenyl in
honey by LC-MS/MS is available. Various chromatographic
separation methods for chloridazon-desphenyl were tested to
clarify the situation.
About EURL
The concept of the EU Reference Laboratories (EURLs, former CRLs) and National Reference Laboratories (NRLs) is laid down in the Regulation (EC) No 625/2017 of the European Parliament and of the Council. The overall objective of the EURLs and NRLs is to improve the quality, accuracy and comparability of the results generated by official control laboratories.
