Latest application note: Three-Fold Increase in Productivity for Pesticide Residue Analysis in Baby Food Using Fast Triple Quadrupole GC-MS/MS

This Application Note 10432 shows that laboratory productivity can be tripled using the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 8000 Evo™ triple quadrupole GC-MS system. Acceleration of sample analysis is made possible by:

• direct analysis of acetonitrile extracts with no need for an additional solvent exchange step.

• shorter GC run times using fast data acquisition with the EvoCell fast collision cell technology.

• comprehensive detection of target pesticides and nontargeted pesticides using simultaneous full

  scan and SRM data acquisition.

Additional pesticides were identified by searching the full scan data against the NIST library.

Excellent sensitivity can be achieved. In the data presentated in the application note all pesticides were detected and identified at a concentration of 5–10 ng/g with IDL values from 0.2–3.7 ng/g.

These results demonstrate that fast GC data acquisition using the TSQ 8000 Evo GC-MS/MS system delivers excellent peak area reproducibility and compound linearity.
