Introduction To The GCMS Analysis Of Pesticides In Cannabis

From sample prep to the method setup and analysis of GC-MS\MS Cannabis Pesticides. The GC-MS/MS analyses were performed using an Agilent GC coupled to a 7010-B triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The GC configuration included a multimode inlet (MMI) and backflush capacity through a Purged Ultimate Union (PUU), while the 7010B was equipped with an High Efficiency Source (HES) and the Jet-Clean option, which allows for in situ cleaning of the HES source with hydrogen.
