Automated Derivatization, SPE Cleanup & LC-MS/MS Determination of Glyphosate and Other Polar Pesticides

26 Feb 2015

Glyphosate and glufosinate are widely used herbicides and thus there is an interest in the reliable and sensitive determination of glyphosate in water and food. These pesticides are difficult to extract and analyze because of their high polarity. This poster describes an automated workflow for the identification and quantitation of glyphosate and glufosinate in water and food samples.

Triple Quad 4500 system

SCIEX

The Triple Quad 4500 system takes the legendary API 4000 platform and intelligently re-engineers it to set a new benchmark for reliable quantitation - with a 10X increase in sensitivity over competitive triple quads in the same class. The LC/MS/MS workhorse is intelligently re-engineered. Whether your research is focused on ADME, regulated bioanalysis, food, and environmental contaminant screening targeted quantitative proteomics or clinical research, the SCIEX Triple Quad 4500 system covers your key performance criteria: quantitative sensitivity dynamic range scan speed ionization source flow range footprint.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis.
