Optimization and validation of a multi-residue LC-MS/MS method for pesticides in spinach and cabbage by using Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC and TSQ Quantis mass spectrometer. Sample preparation was performed using QuEChERS method that provided high recoveries for an extensive scope of pesticides in several simple steps. Data acquisition and processing were carried out using Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software. The optimized method was validated as per the SANTE guideline and applied to real samples demonstrating that the workflow is fit for purpose.
Forty-four multi-class veterinary drugs of known concentrations were employed to demonstrate how the use of a generic variable data-independent acquisition (vDIA) method with wide MS/MS precursor isolation windows achieves sensitivity and selectivity comparable to data-dependent MS2 acquisition (using narrow isolation windows) in quantitative and qualitative small molecule applications. In addition, a full record of MS and MS/MS data for the measured sample fit for non-targeted and unknown screening purposes is delivered. vDIA is not available in the United States of America
To describe a new method for veterinary drug analysis, showing how the variable data-independent acquisition (vDIA) workflow achieves high sensitivity and selectivity, providing a complete high-quality data record of the measured sample. Quantitative analysis of the acquired data in combination with non-targeted and unknown screening is shown. vDIA is not available in the United States of America
