Multiresidue pesticides analysis in food with an LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit

13 Jun 2024

Multiresidue pesticides analysis is a cornerstone of food safety testing, and labs often require faster GC-MS and GC-MS/MS methods. Low-pressure GC-MS (LPGC-MS) is option that can provide significant speed gains, but, historically, the challenging setup has been a barrier to implementation. Restek highlights how it carried out an LPGC-MS pesticides analysis of 209 compounds in strawberries that utilized its LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit. The LPGC Rtx-5ms Column Kit has been specifically designed so it can easily be installed into GC-MS or GC-MS/MS systems. Restek details how the kit can provide 3.1x faster multiresidue pesticides analysis in foods with 54% less helium consumption, and how its integrated transfer line helps to reduce background and stabilization time.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors.

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.
