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.
