Start-to-Finish Workflows for Pesticide Analysis

14 Sept 2015

The Thermo Scientific™ Pesticides Explorer Collection is a comprehensive set of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) solutions designed for laboratories performing routine quantitation, targeted and non-targeted screening of pesticide residues in food matrices. Each configuration includes all the workflow components needed— consumables, hardware, software and built-in instrument and data processing methods—pre-configured and tested, from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Quantum™ Access MAX Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Achieve high quantitative sensitivity and specificity economically with the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Quantum™ Access Max triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Applications such as pharmaceutical development, environmental and food safety testing, clinical research, and forensic toxicology demand analytical sensitivity and specificity—even when budgets are constrained. The Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Quantum™ Access MAX Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer is an outstanding LC-MS/MS value, providing excellent sensitivity, specificity, and flexibility that is also more affordable.   Features: Thermo Scientific™ Ion Max™ API source with HESI-II probe reduces noise and increases sensitivity, enhancing quantitative performance. Up to 3,000 definable, timed SRMs and fast 25 ms positive/negative switching improve productivity. Quantitation-enhanced data-dependent MS/MS (QED-MS/MS) provides simultaneous compound confirmation and quantification. High-resolution selected reaction monitoring (H-SRM) with 2 ms dwell times enables quantification of hundreds of compounds in a single run. Mass range of 10–3000 m/z allows analysis of small molecules and intact proteins. Zero-cross-talk collision cell eliminates false positives. Optional FAIMS interface enhances specificity. Intuitive software with searchable compound libraries and database of methodologies for the analysis of pesticides, azo dyes and banned pharmaceuticals in water and food, make the system easy to use. Self-cleaning Ion Max API source heater with automatic source recognition simplifies use and increases reliability.
