Honey authenticity testing using LC‑MS MS with streamlined sample preparation
6 May 2026Explore a fast and reliable method for detecting 3‑methoxytyramine (3‑MT) in honey using the QSight® 500 LC‑MS/MS system from PerkinElmer. The approach uses a simplified Blend‑and‑Inject workflow that eliminates the need for solid‑phase extraction and isotopically labeled standards while maintaining high sensitivity and quantitative reliability. By addressing matrix challenges associated with high sugar content, the method supports efficient, high‑throughput authenticity testing and enables laboratories to detect beet‑sugar adulteration with reduced preparation time, lower costs, and improved operational efficiency.
