Abstract A procedure based on the coupling of pulsed laser desorption and differential mobility spectrometry is described which allows the fast screening of surfaces in respect to organic contaminations, in particular pesticides. We investigated the general capability of this technique for the rapid screening of pesticides from fruit surfaces. Although the coupling presented requires further optimization, the method developed permits the fast detection of pesticides from the surfaces of apples, grapes, tomatoes and pepper in the ng range. The initial results regarding the detection and quantification of a few prominent pesticides on different materials are presented.
