In this study, the suitability of the TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system was assessed for the analysis of more than 200 pesticides in black tea at trace concentrations supplemented with SPE cleanup. The linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of quantitation, and injection reproducibility of 20 selected analytes representative of the different pesticide classes in black tea matrix were demonstrated.
The aim of this application note is to demonstrate the performance of the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 9610 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled to the Thermo Scientific™ TRACE™ 1610 GC equipped with programmable temperature vaporizing injector (PTV) for the determination of trace level pesticide residues in baby food.
This work aimed to develop and validate an analytical method for simultaneous screening and quantification of pesticide residues in potato by using the QuEChERS extraction method in combination with the Thermo Scientific™ Exactive™ GC Orbitrap™ GC-MS system operated in full scan mode. The data acquisition and processing were carried out by using Thermo Scientific™ TraceFinder™ software. The optimized method was validated as per the SANTE/12682/2019 guidelines.
In this study, the quantitative performance of the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 9000 triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS system was assessed for the analysis of more than 200 pesticides in baby food at ultra low concentrations (as low as 0.025 μg/kg).
The Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 8000 Evo triple quadrupole GC-MS is an excellent tool for the control of MRL levels in food commodities. The enhanced velocity optics (EVO) driving EvoCell collision cell technology provide high SRM transition speeds, precision, and sensitivity for even complex methods involving several pesticides in a short run time. This application is focused on the analysis of 247 compounds in two different herbal juices, Aloe vera and Amla (Indian gooseberry), demonstrating the potential of the method to detect trace level compounds at concentrations as low as 1-2 ng/g.
