A simple and rapid multiplug filtration cleanup method based on multiwalled carbon nanotubes was developed to determine 124 pesticide residues in rice, wheat, and corn, which could be done in a few seconds without conditioning and elution steps. Various combinations of sorbents were optimized for each matrix with a dispersive solid‐phase extraction procedure to get a satisfactory recovery and clean‐up performance. Good linearity was obtained for all pesticides with calibration curve coefficients larger than 0.9958. Most recoveries for the majority pesticides were between 70 and 120% ( n = 5) with relative standard deviations below 20%. The limit of detection was 0.1–1.3 μg/kg, and the limit of quantification was 0.2–4.3 μg/kg for the pesticides in all matrices. The work suggests that the multiplug filtration cleanup method is better than the dispersive solid‐phase extraction method and it could be applied to routinely monitor pesticide residues in market samples.
