Residue analysis of 500 high priority pesticides: Better by GC–MS or LC–MS/MS?

Residue analysis of 500 high priority pesticides: better by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS?

This overview evaluates the capabilities of mass spectrometry (MS) in combination with gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) for the determination of a multitude of pesticides. The selection of pesticides for this assessment is based on the status of production, the existence of regulations on maximum residue levels in food, and the frequency of residue detection. GC-MS with el...

Multi-residue analysis of pesticides by GC-HRMS

Dr. Hans Mol is senior scientist at RIKILTWageningen UR Introduction Regulatory authorities throughout the world set and enforce strict limits on the maximum residue levels (MRLs or tolerances) of pesticides permitted on food and feeds. It falls to analytical laboratories to test these products and ensure they meet the relevant standards. The analytical challenge is to look for over 1,500 poten...

Simultaneous Analysis of Seven Non-authorized Pesticides Residue in Cucumber Using Spiked Calibration Curve by GC/ECD

Background: Lack of farmers’ knowledge, illegal production and import, and economical situation are the main reasons for non-authorized usage. In this study, one of the major center of cucumber cultivation at south west of Iran, Darreh shahr City in Ilam Province were studied for non-authorized pesticides usage, which health authorities and national standard organization do not recommend....
