Meeting the European Commission Performance Criteria for the Use of Triple Quadrupole GC-MS/MS as a Confirmatory Method for PCDD/Fs in Food and Feed Samples
8 Sept 2016In this application note, the performance of the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ™ 8000 Evo triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS for the analysis of PCDD/Fs was assessed. For this, both solvent standards, and food and feed samples were used to evaluate the instrument performance against the new criteria for dioxin confirmation. Additionally, a direct comparison of the results obtained from food and feed sample extracts using the TSQ 8000 Evo GC-MS/MS with those from a GC-HRMS was made.

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.
