Optimizing the Performance of the Agilent GC/MS/MS Pesticide Analyzer
نویسنده
چکیده
First of all, the detection limit (or calibration range), in general, shifts lower by two orders of magnitude. Quantitative analysis of food or environmental samples for organic contaminants at parts-per billion (ppb) or parts-per-trillion (ppt) levels, places additional emphasis on all parts of the GC/MS/MS system (inlet, capillary column, and mass spectrometer ion source, in particular) to be sufficiently inert to allow the detection and confirmation of hundreds of trace target compounds in a single GC run.

Assessing Washing Methods for Reduction of Pesticide Residues in Tomatoes and Other Produce Using LC/MS and GC/MS Authors
Various washing protocols have been assessed for efficacy using Agilent LC/MS and GC/MS instrumentation to measure pesticide residues in tomatoes and other produce. Washing procedures in water and various solutions, with and without sonication, were evaluated in the laboratory. In general, the effect of sonication depended on the washing treatment and on the pesticide. A separate experiment mea...
متن کاملThe Analysis of Trace Contaminants in High Purity Ethylene and Propylene Using GC/MS
A new product (Application 460B-00) from Agilent Technologies/WassonECE uses a 5973N GC/MSD (gas chromatograph/mass selective detector) for the determination of trace levels of impurities that are moderate-to-low carbon-content such as oxygenates, mercaptans, sulfides, arsine, and phosphine in ethylene and propylene. This work describes the performance of Application 460B-00 with respect to lin...

متن کاملThe Role of the Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry in Pesticide Residue Determination in Food
The use of liquid chromatography (LC) in pesticide residue determination was usually limited to groups of compounds or single compounds for which no suitable gas chromatographic (GC) conditions were available. However, recent developments have significantly enlarged the LC scope in this field of analysis. One of the most important advances was the on-line coupling of efficient LC separation wit...
متن کاملAnalysis of Cypermethrin in Blueberries by Agilent 240 Ion Trap GC/MS^3
A rugged method has been developed on the Agilent 240 Ion Trap GC/MS using GC EI/MS^3 in blueberry matrix for cypermethrin. The method easily meets the requirements of fruit growers in the Pacific Northwest responsible for importing and exporting blueberry/caneberry. Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid used as an insecticide in large-scale commercial agricultural applications as well as in c...
