Implementing SPME methods for food analysis

Shimadzu has produced an application note demonstrating an example of batch analysis of highly polar pesticides using SFC that may be effective for analyses for which retention and separation are difficult in LC.

In this presentation, the new XEVO TQ GC, GC-MS/MS system is introduced and a sensitive, multi-class method for the routine determination of pesticide residues in QuEChERS extracts of various fruit and vegetables is described. 

In this technology brief from Waters see how the Xevo™ TQ-GC can produce consistent results for pesticide analysis over an extended period of time, without the need for intervention by the user.

In this study, Water demonstrates how product ion information can be used simultaneously with MRM acquisition to provide additional compound information and aid in the verification of results.

Waters describes a simple method demonstrating how its Quanpedia™ Database can simplify GC-MS/MS method development and analysis in food and environmental laboratories.

In this application note an optimised LC-MS/MS method for the detection of 18 regulated mycotoxins is presented.

This application note describes the use of Shimadzu's LCMS-8060 Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer for the analysis of 212 veterinary drug residues.

In this application news from Shimadzu, laser diode thermal desorption (LDTD) was coupled with an LCMS-8060 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LDTD-MS) to conduct high-speed analysis of melamine in powdered milk.

Shimadzu has produced an application note describing a method that enables rapid analysis of drug residues with the LCMS-8050 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.

In this study from Thermo Fisher Scientific the performance of an enhanced sensitivity triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS was evaluated using both solvent standards and food/foodstuff samples for the analysis of PCDD/Fs to satisfy regulatory requirements.

Agilent Technologies has produced an application note describing a UHPLC/MS/MS-based multiresidue method for the determination of more than 250 pesticides and their metabolites in food samples using the Agilent Ultivo Triple Quadrupole LC/MS.
