Intelligent reflex targeted reinjection workflow for pesticide screening in food matrices
29 Jul 2024Robust and reliable screening methods for pesticide analysis in food matrices are a continuous point of challenge with the growing number of matrix samples, varying detection limits, and a continuously expanding list of emerging contaminants. Data-independent acquisition (DIA) methods allow users to simultaneously screen for targets of interest while also evaluating valuable information on unknown compounds. Agilent Technologies demonstrates a DIA methodology for the screening of pesticides in a complex matrix with the Agilent Revident Q-TOF LC/MS. Plus, discover how intelligent reflex automated targeted reinjection has been used for the acquisition of compounds screened as present or questionable.

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. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Workflowpesticide analysisMatrixPesticidesPesticides are used to protect crops from diseases, pests and unwanted plants. They are classed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and can be harmful to humans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) currently regulates the use of pesticides in the USA.
