Moving Your Old GC Methods to LC-MS/MS Technology to Enhance and Accelerate Environmental and Food Testing

This application note highlights benefits of advanced LC- MS/MS technology over GC for the analysis of environmental and food contaminants, which include:

• Less time-consuming and labor-intensive sample preparation
• Direct injection of water samples
• Typically no need for derivatization
• Short chromatographic run times
• Quantitation of trace levels (parts per trillion) due to superior selectivity and sensitivity of multiple reaction monitoring (MRM)
• Screening for a wider range of compounds in a single analysis
• Compound identification using MRM ratio calculation and library searching of enhanced product ion spectra
