Factory-Configured Analysers Detect Trace Levels of Broad Range of Targeted Pesticides
Jul 22 2010
Agilent Technologies, Inc introduced two Triple Quadrupole GC/MS Pesticide Analysers that are complete, factoryconfigured, highly sensitive and chemically tested systems. They can quickly identify a broad range of commonly analysed pesticide residues.
The Agilent Triple Quadrupole GC/MS Pesticide Analysers are based on the Agilent 7000 Series triple quadrupole gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer (GC/MS/MS). The 7000 Series is the world’s first triple quadrupole MS designed specifically for GC analysis, providing the levels of sensitivity and selectivity needed to measure trace levels in complex matrices. Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) allows for drastic reduction or elimination of matrix interferences that restrict the accuracy or detection limits of other techniques. The pesticide analysers come with an MRM database containing a broad range of commonly tested pesticides.
Version one of the analyser is designed for maximum flexibility, permitting users to add GC detectors. The system is easily scaled to shorten run times. The analyser includes a method based on Agilent’s Retention Time Locked (RTL) GC/MS/MS MRM database containing spectra for more than 500 pesticides. Version two delivers higher performance and shorter cycle times while consuming less carrier gas. The analysis is based on the USA Targeted Pesticide List GC/MS/MS MRM database of more than 200 pesticides.
Included with each analyser is a full set of pesticide checkout samples, a promotional QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) sample preparation kit, and Retention Time Locked HP-5MS Ultra Inert column for reliable database matching. Agilent also provides a quick-start guide and application note that shows users how to run the analyser’s screening method, and a CD-ROM with examples of screening methods, data files and reports.
