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.
In the field of food chemistry and health, Prof. Nils Helge Schebb and his team at the University of Wuppertal are at the forefront of applying cutting-edge analytical methods to investigate how dietary components affect inflammation and chronic disease. Their work focuses on lipid mediators, particularly oxylipins, and how these molecules can be precisely measured and interpreted using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
Investing in a new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system is a big decision, especially when your lab handles a wide variety of analytical tasks. With so many options out there, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
Useful FAQ document to enable researchers to focus on their scientific discoveries and insights rather than the complexities of data management.
