GC/MS/MS Pesticides Analyzer by Agilent Technologies

Concern over pesticides contamination increases the demand for trace level analysis of residual pollutants in food, beverage and environmental samples. Extracts from these matrices contain target residues plus a mixture of organic compounds co-extracted during sample preparation that increase the difficulty to accurately quantitate and confirm the presence of target compounds. Based on the 7010B Triple Quadrupole GC/MS, Agilent’s Pesticides and Environmental Pollutants GC/MS/MS Analyzer 4.0 with the MassHunter Pesticide & Pollutant MRM Database provides the lowest possible detection and quantitation limits for pesticides residues in complex matrices. Dynamic MRM provides enhanced analytical efficiency by focusing on MRMs within its own RT window. Capillary Flow Technology (CFT) backflush optimizes cycle time, enhances robustness, and provides superior selectivity and sensitivity for routine operation.

Features:

• Why spend time configuring individual components? Factory configured and tested GC/MS/MS pesticide analyzer optimizes and verifies chromatographic performance.
• Database with over 1,100 compounds with multiple transitions per compound and over 7500 matrix-optimized MRM transitions helps your team build acquisition methods that reduce matrix interferences.
• Dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (dMRM) with retention-time scheduled MRM transitions enables larger target lists in a single run due to more efficient use of instrument data acquisition time and also provides a more intuitive way to build and modify acquisition methods using the P&EP MRM database.
• Includes pesticide MRM acquisition methods and data files, application note, operator manuals and quick start guide for faster system start-up
• Agilent analyzers incorporate innovative GC technologies including Capillary Flow Technology and Retention Time Locking.
• Constant pressure, post-column backflush method provides the greatest flexibility, can easily be scaled for shorter run times and allow your lab to add GC detectors.
• Constant flow, mid-column backflush methods provide the best sensitivity for trace pesticide analysis.
• Reverse sandwich injection easily set up and controlled by software
• On-site installation and check out of the Pesticide Analyzer by a factory certified technician confirms that your instrument and the application meet Agilent’s analytical performance criteria.
• System familiarization ensures that your team is “ready to go”, and can start calibration and validation work immediately following system installation.
