Excess sugar consumption is tied to poor health outcomes. Nutritional information including sugar amount is required in the Nutrition Facts label for all pre-packaged foods and drinks by The Nutrition Labeling and Education Act. A high-performance anion exchange method with pulsed amperometric detection (HPAE-PAD) has been developed to accurately determine the sugar concentrations. Here shows the determination of sugars in functional drinks using the Thermo Scientific Dionex Integrion system. This system allows fast determination of sugars with no eluent preparation or sample derivatization.

This application describes the analysis of alkylphenol compounds in food and environmental matrices, illustrating the productivity and high-quality results from the Thermo Scientific TSQ DUO Triple Quadrupole MS system with automated selected reaction monitoring (SRM) development. AutoSRM was used as useful tool for automated MRM method development and maintenance, delivering an optimized method without tedious and laborious procedures. The Chromeleon CDS software offers excellent processing options for data reviewing, including ion ratio checks and reporting.

In this work, the performance of the Thermo Scientific TSQ Duo system is assessed for the quantitative analysis of 11 FAMEs in human blood spot extracts. The TSQ Duo system offers analysts a unique choice by allowing the use of single quadrupole methods and enabling the automatic transition to triple quadrupole on the same system. This application note illustrates the stepwise process of upgrading methods from single quadrupole to triple quadrupole using Chromeleon CDS software.

Chromeleon 7.2 CDS supports a quantitative method for targeted analysis of antibiotics with LC coupled to both UV and MS detection. The application is realized with state-of-the-art LC-MS instrumentations. The Thermo Scientific Vanquish UHPLC system is coupled to the Thermo Scientific Q Exactive HF Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer. Here we present step-by-step the creation of the instrument method, data processing method, and report template, that are thereafter used to generate an LC-MS eWorkflow.

The Thermo Scientific Trace 1310 GC equipped with a FID detector and a PTV injector has been used for a fast Hydrocarbon Oil Index determination in water, in less than 10 min. The PTV injector assures no discrimination across the entire boiling point range up to C40, being compliant with the official regulation EN ISO 9377-2. The Chromeleon CDS software offers an intelligent and convenient solution for data acquisition and reprocessing, with customized reporting system including calculation dictated by the official guidelines.
