Multi-Residue Pesticide Screening Method Using GC/MS

Pesticides are widely used by farmers to control pests, weeds and molds that would otherwise decrease crop production. While this has significantly increased worldwide food productions, these same pesticides pose significant health and environmental risks and are therefore subject to increasing regulation. Since many different types of pesticides can be used on the same food product, multi-residue screening approaches are used. This application note details the Zebron MultiResidue™ columns as a solution for all classes of pesticide analysis.
