Methodology for the Identification of Pesticide Metabolites in Complex Matrices Using UPLC-ToF/MSE and the UNIFI Scientific Information System

This application note demonstrates a workflow for Waters® Metabolite Identification Application Solution with UNIFI. Atrazine (a commercially available herbicide that is well documented in the scientific literature) and its metabolites were spiked into soil extracts and used as a case study. Atrazine is a triazine herbicide that is widely used to control weeds in a variety of crops including corn, sugar cane, and sorghum.
