Glyphosate is a polar pesticide widely used as a garden herbicide. It is an ingredient in the world’s bestselling weed killer, which farmers consider one of their best solutions to their super weed problems.
However, the chemical has become one of the most controversial topics as concerns about health implications increase. What’s more, lack of rigorous testing methods has also drawn criticism. Yet, regulators across seem to have differing opinions on these issues and its widely used in farming is still authorized.
Many contemporary methods fail to address reproducibility and sensitivity. Consequently, labs are seeking even more efficient and robust analytical testing methods to help identify as many polar pesticides in food, feed, and environment, within in a single analysis.
There are 2 constraints you need to know need when evaluating glyphosate testing methods:
The good news? SCIEX has teamed up with NofaLab, a Rotterdam-based contract testing laboratory to develop a non-derivatized method.
This new method, is based on ion chromatography and optimized on the SCIEX 6500+ QTRAP® LC-MS/MS System, has high sensitivity, linearity, and reproducibility for food, feed, and water samples.

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.
A few years ago, I was plotting along in my analytical job and keeping up-to-date with residue regulations took a considerable amount of time, but it was always manageable. Nowadays, we have PFAS.
Produced by certain moulds, thriving in crops such as grain, nuts and coffee, mycotoxins have contaminated agriculture and food production industries for a long time. To intensify the challenge, mycotoxins are resilient, not easily broken down and ensuring the safety of food supply chains requires comprehensive solutions and we are here to share those solutions with you.
