Win-Win: Save Big in Pesticide Screening Costs Without Sacrificing Performance

05-Jan-2016 - Germany

When screening for pesticides in foods, you need to start with generic extraction procedures such as QuEChERS, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. But while typical LC flow rates in combination with small particle size HPLC columns with high pressures yield excellent results, they require high volumes of expensive HPLC organic solvents such as acetonitrile. In addition, disposal of these solvents can negatively impact the environment.

With the SCIEX microLC 200 System, you can achieve high quality peaks and results AND:

  • Significantly reduce the amount of expensive solvents required
  • Reduce run times by speeding up the gradient
  • Achieve greater sensitivity, allowing the use of lower injection volumes to reduce matrix effects

This application note overviews a screening of more than 100 pesticides in QuEChERS food extracts using the SCIEX microLC 200 system with an LC-MS/MS method developed on a SCIEX QTRAP® 4500 System.
