Welcome to Thermo Fisher Scientific's 2022 Transforming pesticide analysis with GC-MS, IC-MS, LC-MS, and data analysis e-seminar series. In this four-part eSeminar Series, we address the advances and new trends in pesticide residues analysis so that you can be well-equipped to stay ahead of developing challenges.
Join us for the first webinar in this series.
Staying ahead of pesticides residue analysis challenges using GC-MS/MS
Food manufacturers must test their raw materials and ensure that they are free from pesticides to protect consumers. Pesticides are highly regulated world-wide for use on crops however they are misused and cause the contamination of the environment and in turn crops used to produce raw material. Testing botanical matrices can be particularly challenging due to complex matrix interferences. Food manufacturing labs must have instrumentation that can achieve the regulatory limits consistently.
Jerry Mueller, QC Chemist-MS Specialist and application expert with NOW Foods will discuss the current regulatory requirements for pesticided analysis in food samples and demonstrate easy to deploy and scalable workflow strategies (or techiques or technology) for pesticides analysis using Thermo Scientific equipment. This discussion will include examples of pesticide analysis in various botanical matrices, review data, and provide solutions using the new Thermo Scientific GC-MS/MS system.
