Analysis of Multiresidue Pesticides Present in Ayurvedic Churna by GC-MS/MS
14 Aug 2014The analysis of herbal powders (churna’s) using an optimized GC-MS/MS method is described in this poster. As churna’s have high amounts of matrix co-extractives, they pose critical analytical problems. The analysis was performed by GC-MS/MS using a timed-SRM detection method on Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000™ triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS instrument.

GC-MS GC-MS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) instruments and equipment are used to separate, quantify and identify mixtures of small and volatile compounds, such as polycyclic aromatics, fatty acids and alcohols. Often used in drug detection, forensic investigation and environmental analysis for pesticides and contaminants, GC-MS is a powerful addition to your lab’s analytical capabilities. GC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzers can give greater sensitivity and resolution to your analysis.
