Analyze residual solvents in flexible food packaging with GC 2400 and HS 2400 M, delivering accurate, compliant results and no carryover.

Effluent wastewater testing is essential for protecting human health and the environment, and EPA Method 624.1 is a widely used approach for monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water. This application note demonstrates how the combination of the Teledyne LABS Tekmar Lumin Purge & Trap (P&T) concentrator, AQUATek LVA autosampler, and PerkinElmer GCMS 2400 platform delivers accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive VOC analysis while effectively managing water vapor transfer that can compromise GC/MS performance.

Dibenzyl disulfide (DBDS) is a corrosive sulfur compound that can accelerate copper sulfide formation in transformers, increasing the risk of insulation damage and equipment failure. Routine monitoring of DBDS is therefore critical for transformer health, regulatory compliance, and preventive maintenance. This application note demonstrates how the PerkinElmer GC 2400 System with Electron Capture Detection (ECD) provides a sensitive, reliable, and cost-effective approach for DBDS analysis in transformer oils, delivering excellent linearity, precision, and freedom from carryover in accordance with IEC 62697 guidelines.

This note applies the EPA 1633 workflow to fish and animal tissues, enabling sensitive, low‑level PFAS detection using automated SPE and LC/MS/MS. The dual‑layer SPE design improves efficiency and recovery, meeting all EPA performance criteria across complex tissue matrices.

In food safety testing, instrument reliability under real-world conditions is the true test of performance. This technical note showcases the durability and consistency of the PerkinElmer QSight® 500 LC/MS/MS system through an intensive robustness study, analyzing high-matrix food samples with minimal cleanup and no loss in sensitivity. Using a simplified QuEChERS extraction (no SPE), the system successfully analyzed PFAS analytes across complex matrices like salmon, avocado, pet food, and spices. The results highlight not only long-term stability but also the power of StayClean™ technology to reduce downtime and keep throughput high.

This application note describes a fast and robust LC‑MS/MS method for honey authenticity testing by targeted quantification of 3‑methoxytyramine, a specific marker for beet‑sugar feeding. Using the QSight® 500 LC‑MS/MS with EDIT‑ESI and a simplified Blend‑and‑Inject workflow, the method eliminates SPE and isotopically labeled internal standards while delivering high sensitivity, excellent reproducibility, and high throughput for routine commercial and regulatory honey testing.

This application note presents a simplified Blend‑and‑Inject LC‑MS/MS method for the quantification of 25 PFAS compounds in animal‑derived food matrices using the QSight® 500 LC‑MS/MS system. By eliminating SPE and leveraging matrix‑matched calibration, isotopically labeled standards, and a PFAS delay column, the method achieves EU‑compliant sensitivity and robust performance in complex tissues, enabling high‑throughput and reliable PFAS monitoring for food safety compliance.
