Are you looking for ways to up the ante on your LC-MS/MS when it comes to food testing? Researchers here have developed a method for the analysis of approximately 400 pesticides in food samples, and their work is available for viewing in this year’s compendium. This application note is just one of 16 you will find under Pesticides >
Using your QTRAP® LC-MS/MS System at its Full Potential OverviewUsing MRM mode, the QTRAP® 6500 LC-MS/MS was used to quantify hundreds of pesticides in food samples with high selectivity and sensitivity. Identification was further confirmed using MRM ratio identification. An alternative approach for compound identification went beyond the detection of multiple fragments.
Details of ExperimentTwenty pesticides were spiked into different food samples, and diluted extracts were analyzed using two methods.
Results and ConclusionsImproved data processing using a dual injection approach with automatic quantitation, identification, and confirmation using MasterView™ and MultiQuant™ Software. Results highlight the complementary nature of MRM ratios and MS/MS full scan offering a possibility of confirmatory analysis.
Depending on the samples that you are running on the system, it is possible for the Echo MS electrode to become dirty or occluded over time. Below are two different cleaning strategies that will be helpful for you to maintain your system and keep your electrodes running well.
Developing an analytical method can be one of the most rewarding jobs an analytical scientist can do, but it can also be one of the most complex and frustrating. To help guide your practical experiments and thought processes we spoke to Kean Woodmansey to benefit from his experience.
As analytical organizations grow, there is an even greater need to train scientists and operators more consistently to meet tight deadlines, handle increasing samples, and meet data quality expectations. A high rate of employee turnover also affects the productivity of labs worldwide. Consistent training helps today’s labs stay competitive, whether the goal is sample throughput, therapeutic development, or publication.
