Analysis of Pesticides utilizing the TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS triple quadrupole

The analysis of pesticide residues in environmental and food safety samples is crucial for ensuring compliance with regulatory guidelines (label instructions) and safeguarding consumer health. Laboratories conducting food safety testing rely on GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, and IC-MS to detect pesticides in EFS samples. The TSQ 9610 GC-MS/MS product line is ideally suited for this purpose, offering distinct advantages in analyzing GC-amenable pesticides across various sample types.

Public environmental and food service providers, as well as contract testing laboratories, can significantly enhance sample throughput for pesticide analysis by leveraging an automated workflow. This includes QuEChERS extraction, cleanup with uSPE, and PTV injection into the GC—fully automated through the TriPlus RSH SMART robotic autosampler. The entire system is seamlessly controlled via Chromeleon CDS as a single software platform. With Intelligent Sequence and eWorkflow functionalities, it enables fully automated sample management, reporting, and LIMS data transfer, supporting 24/7 operations while reducing labor costs and improving efficiency.
