A new study introduces a comprehensive two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (2D-LC–MS/MS) method for the analysis of 112 pesticides in corn-based products. The method exhibits high precision, lower limit of quantification values, and successful detection of trace levels of pesticides in real samples, offering promise for the analysis of complex matrices.
