LC-MS/MS MRM (Multiple Reaction Monitoring) analysis allows for rapid and sensitive detection of pesticides in complex matrices. A single multi-residue LC/MS/MS method was developed for 646 pesticides (3 MRM transitions for over 99 % targeted pesticides resulting in 1,919 transitions in total, with a polarity switching time of 5 msec) using Ultra-Fast LC-MS/MS and Method Package for Residual Pesticides.
Triple Quadrupole LC-MS/MS
LCMS-8060NX
LC/MS/MS Method Package for Residual Pesticides
The Method Package covers 836 components subject to EU Directive No. 396/2005, Chinese GB standards, and the Japanese Multi-residue Method for Agricultural Chemicals by LC-MS/MS. In the USA, the EPA sets the pesticide limits while the FDA and USDA enforce those limits. The method package also includes optimized analytical conditions, which enables simultaneous analysis of 646 pesticides in 10.5 minutes without performing a complicated conditions setting process.
Simultaneous analysis of 646 pesticides (10ng/mL)
within 10.5 minutes using LC-MS/MS
Peak area response for three pesticides spiked into apple, mint and tomato matrix extracts at 0.05 mg/kg over 72 hours.
The Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8050 is the first triple quadrupole with Smart Productivity for high-efficiency sample throughput, Smart Operation for quick and easy method development, and Smart Performance for low detection limits and Scan/MRM. These three smart technologies contribute to Smart MRM and provide the most accurate, cost-effective, and easy-to-use triple quadrupole GCMS you have ever imagined.

MRM analysis of residual pesticides in food using GC-MS/MS
Database for quantitative analysis
The Smart Pesticide Database includes optimized transitions and collision energies, CAS registry numbers, and Retention Indices (RI) for hundreds of pesticides. Select from pre-registered compounds in one database, or add you own optimized transitions. Select the compounds to be analyzed, and Smart MRM builds the MRM or Scan/MRM acquisition method from the "Smart Database" with a push of a button.
Database for screening analysis
In pesticide analysis, increased purchasing costs and the control operations associated with standard samples have become issues for the industry. The Quick-DB contains 491 components information, optimized analytical conditions, and calibration curves created using pesticide surrogates as internal standard substances. This allows quick screening of residual pesticides without using pesticide standard samples.
Due to increasingly sophisticated automation, large quantities of high-quality mass spectrometer data can be obtained. However, checking and analyzing all that data can be extremely time-consuming, which significantly decreases the efficiency of inspection work. LabSolutions Insight multi-analyte quantitation software for GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS analysis helps analyze such multi-analyte data more conveniently and more efficiently.
