Abstract: To establish a QuEChERS high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneous determination of 10 carbamate pesticide residues in beer,beer samples were extracted with acetonitrile, and 1.5 g of sodium chloride was used for salting out. The purification agent was 30 mg PSA+15 mg GCB+885 mg anhydrous magnesium sulfate, mobile phase A was 0.01% formic acid aqueous solution+2 mmol/L ammonium formate solution, mobile phase B was methanol, and the chromatographic column was Shim pack GIST-HP C18-AQ （100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 μm）. The analysis was carried out in multiple reaction monitoring mode （MRM） and the external standard method was used for quantification. The results showed that there was a good linear relationship among the 10 types of carbamate pesticides within the concentration range of 5~150 μg/L, and the correlation coefficients （R²） were all greater than 0.999 0,the LOD was 0.10-1.43 μg/L, the LOQ was 0.29-4.76 μg/L, the spiked recovery rate of the sample was 85.9%~118.0%, and the RSD was 1.4%~8.8% （n=6）. This method was accurate in quantification, simple in operation, and fast in analysis, and was suitable for rapid screening and quantitative analysis of various carbamate pesticide residues in beer.
