Workflow for the sensitive and reliable analysis of polar anionic pesticides and metabolites

by | Food & Beverage, Liquid Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry

Do you require a solution for the robust, sensitive and reliable determination of polar anionic pesticides and metabolites? If so, this on-demand webinar will introduce a new validated ion-chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry based workflow that will enable you to achieve this at low µg/kg levels, without the need for derivatization, and all in a single analysis.

Laboratories are constantly challenged to analyse more classes of pesticides at lower concentrations in more different commodities, with faster turnaround times and little, if any, increase in costs. 

One of the most challenging group of pesticides is the polar anionic pesticides, such as glyphosate, glufosinate, fosetyl, chlorate and the like, which often occur as residues in food, but are not always included in pesticide monitoring programs. This presentation will focus on the extensive optimization and performance of a new validated ion-chromatography triple quadrupole mass spectrometry based workflow for the robust, sensitive and reliable determination of a group of polar anionic pesticides and metabolites at low µg/kg levels, without the need for derivatization, and all in a single analysis.

  • The sample-to-results workflow uses a modified QuPPe extraction with cartridge solid-phase extraction clean-up
  • Results for wheat and leek matrices, with and without the use of labelled internal standards, are fully compliant with the EU SANTE guidelines for validation and ongoing quality control
  • The workflow is available as an “off-the-shelf kit” which includes all instruments, software, necessary consumables, suitability check standard solutions, and a detailed deployment guide for fast implementation and enablement of ongoing optimum performance.

By viewing this webinar you will...

  • discover the advantages of IC over other separation techniques
  • gain a better appreciation of the overall productivity benefits provided by the Anionic Pesticide Explorer workflow
  • gain an understanding of the level of compliance, productivity and robustness possible by using the workflow in routine analysis.
