[0109] 5.2 Accuracy
[0110] The recovery rate of this method at the spiked concentration level of 2 μg / kg to 20 μg / kg is 60% to 120%.

[0113] 5.3 Precision
[0114] The intra-batch relative standard deviation of this method is ≤15%, and the inter-batch relative standard deviation is ≤15%.
[0115] Comparative Example 1
[0116] The anhydrous sodium sulfate in the extraction section 4.1 of Example 1 was replaced with magnesium sulfate. Experiments have shown that a small amount of magnesium sulfate can remove moisture. However, magnesium sulfate easily forms lumps and generates severe heat when added, and also affects the recovery rate of fenvalerate and flubendiamide.
[0117] Comparative Example 2
[0118] Regarding the purification part 4.2 in Example 1, the purification method is compared.
[0119] 1. Prime HLB, a common solid phase extraction reagent, was used for testing. The results showed that it adsorbed all five pesticides, with recovery rates ranging from 1% to 70%, which did not meet the minimum recovery rate requirement of 60% for testing.

[0121] Compound Flufenac Indole Teflubenzuron Pendimethalin Metalaxyl Recovery rate (%) 4.105 50.70 9.727 1.679 64.19
[0122] 2. PSA and C18 were used to remove impurities such as sugars, organic acids, fats, and pigments from the sample. Testing showed that without magnesium sulfate, the recovery rate ranged from 50% to 80%, while with the addition of magnesium sulfate, the recovery rate reached 90% to 98%. Inadequate sodium sulfate removal in the first step resulted in a decrease in recovery. Therefore, the present invention uses 1200 mg of anhydrous magnesium sulfate, 400 mg of PSA, and 400 mg of C18 per 8 mL of extract as a purification method.
