In this study, the suitability of the TSQ 9610 triple quadrupole
GC-MS/MS system was assessed for the analysis of more than
200 pesticides in black tea at trace concentrations supplemented
with SPE cleanup. The linearity, accuracy, precision, limit of
quantitation, and injection reproducibility of 20 selected analytes
representative of the different pesticide classes in black tea
matrix are demonstrated.
In this seventh part of " Conversations with Michael Dong," a series on fundamentals of HPLC in pharmaceutical analysis, LCGC International’s "Perspectives in HPLC" column editor explains why 2.1-mm i.d. columns are less preferred for pharmaceutical quality control.
Ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC–QTOF-MS) shows how soaking and cooking break down soybean fats.
Nicolai Zederkopff explores chromatography’s role to help implement the maximum tolerable level (MTL) framework for food adulteration to translate analytical results into compliance decisions.
Franz Berthiller (BOKU University, Austria) discusses a multilaboratory study that used retention index markers to align mycotoxin liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) data.
A QuEChERS/ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC-HRMS) method tracks 23 plant toxins in cereals and spices. Michele Suman discusses the method with LCGC International.
