Application Note: Fast Screening and Quantification of Pesticide Residues using a Comprehensive LC-MS Solution: The Pesticide Explorer Collection – Standard Quantitation
28 October 2016
Pesticides are chemicals used on crops to protect them from the negative activity of pests. Inappropriate application of pesticides can have adverse effects on health; therefore, determination and quantification of pesticide residues in foods and food products is an important part of routine food control. The aim of this application note is to present a fully tested LC-MS/MS workflow for rapid and robust quantification of more than 250 pesticides below maximum residue limits (MRLs) with sensitivity, accuracy, and precision that meets stringent EU guidelines.
