Quantitating pesticides in black tea with steady performance and maximized uptime by GC/MS/MS
29 Jul 2024Tea is one of the most commonly consumed non-alcoholic beverages globally, and assessing pesticide levels in tea is essential for ensuring safe consumption, as required by many multinational regulatory bodies. Agilent Technologies presents a complete GC/TQ workflow solution for the accurate and reliable analysis of 246 volatile and semivolatile pesticides in black tea, with the Agilent 7010D GC/TQ. Discover how this workflow solution allows for quantitation of pesticide residues with LOQs as low as 0.01 ppb, yet also demonstrates calibration accuracy over a dynamic range, spanning up to five orders of magnitude over 0.01 to 1,000 ppb in the complex black tea extract.
