Raising Confidence in the Analysis of Environmental Samples with Tandem Mass Spectrometry Form

Register to view on-demand presentation...

This presentation will discuss the process and power of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) looking at the key applications for tandem MS in environmental monitoring, which are:

pyrethroid insecticides by EI and NCI with tandem mass spectrometry
PBDE flame retardants in sewage and ocean sediments
EPA Methods 8270 and 525: raising confidence in results with MRM
analysis of PCPPs by LC/MS/MS

By viewing this presentation you will learn about ...

the power of Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) in environmental samples
how it can reduce detection/reporting limits and provide more confidence in your data
how it enables matrix discrimination in samples against isobaric interferences that will occur with SIM alone
how other techniques such as NCI as shown in pyrethroids may be required to eliminate matrix interferences
how to keep in mind that your matrix needs some study for optimized MRM transitions and/or ionization techniques for best results.
