Analysis of Pesticides in Food Matrix using QuEChERS by Triple Quadrupole GC/MS/MS and LC/MS/MS

Inspection results for 138 pesticides using GC/MS/MS and LC/MS/MS have been reported by the EURL (European Union Reference Laboratory). Of the 138 substances, it was recommended that 66 of those substances be analyzed using the triple quadrupole GC/MS/MS, and that the remaining 72 substances be analyzed by the triple quadrupole LC/MS/MS. Thus, the pesticides were analyzed using the GCMSTQ8030 and LCMS-8040 as recommended. The combined use of GC/MS/MS and LC/MS/MS permits high-sensitivity comprehensive analysis of residual pesticides in foods.
