This study aims to develop, optimise, and evaluate a gas chromatography-drift tube-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) based method with a twofold enrichment strategy consisting of solid phase extraction (SPE) followed by in-tube extraction (ITEX) of the eluate for nine different nitrosamines in drinking water in order to offer a sensitive alternative to the current state of the art.
Using the Shimadzu Pesticide MRM Library and the Restek Raptor Biphenyl LC column, a single multiresidue LC-MS/MS method was developed for 646 pesticides.
For the uninitiated, analytical instrumentation can be a confusing mix of abbreviations and hyphenation. In this series of articles, we break down and explain in practical terms what instruments are appropriate for a particular analysis and what to consider when choosing an instrumental technique.
In this article, an example of comprehensive analysis of residual pesticides in spinach using a Revive In-Line Sample Preparation (ILSP) and the quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer LCMS-9050 is introduced.
Column selection is an important part of method development as the quality of critical separations is determined in large part by the retention and selectivity of the analytical column. Although C18 columns are commonly employed, FluoroPhenyl columns provide an orthogonal alternative for method development because they incorporate multiple retention mechanisms and can be used in both reversed-phase (RP) and HILIC modes. This paper explores how FluoroPhenyl columns can be used to improve separations, especially for compounds that are difficult to analyze on a C18, such as basic analytes or small, polar compounds.
This work presents a new purification approach based on liquid chromatography fractionation on silica using the same column and eluents as for the usual MOSH/MOAH fractionation.
These general guidelines can help extend the shelf life of volatile reference standards, improving analyte recoveries and assisting accurate quantification.
This optimized LC-MS/MS method analyzes 282 pesticides and 8 mycotoxins in bee pollen.
