Watch the webinar series on pesticide residue testing and regulation compliance in foods and beverages using high resolution accurate mass technology.
It is now possible to analyze targeted, suspected, and unexpected residues in a single workflow with an easy-to-use GC-MS system that provides an unprecedented level of performance in routine analysis. Join Prof. Fernandez-Alba, who will share his thoughts on the performance of GC-HRAM technology including the ease of use, performance, and effectiveness of the GC-MS system and intelligent software for the analysis of pesticides in fruit and vegetables.
This presentation will describe our experience, challenges, and successes in the development, validation and implementation of methods for GC-MS/MS analysis of pesticides in herbal preparations. Listen to the webinar to learn about optimal sample preparation methods and how this can save time when performing pesticides residue analysis by GC-MS/MS.
Despite the recent technological advancements in LC-MS, it is still challenging to quantify hundreds of LC-amenable pesticides with a robust, sensitive workflow solution. This presentation describes the development and implementation of compete workflow solutions based on LC-MS/MS and LC-HRAM-MS/MS.
Polar ionic pesticides, such as glyphosate, glufosinate, and chlorate are not amenable to common multi-residue methods. The use of suppressed ion chromatography coupled to tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry can help to provide a more effective solution Listen to FERA Science, Ltd's experience, challenges, and successes in the development, validation, and implementation of this approach.
This webinar will provide pesticides residue analysts with new information from an independent thorough evaluation of the capabilities of LC–HRAM technology for the analysis of pesticide residues in QuEChERS extracts of food. Information on the sensitivity, selectivity, precision, accuracy, and reproducibility, identification capabilities, ease of use and effectiveness of the software will be covered.
Learn the capabilities and potential application of GC–Orbitrap technology for the analysis of pesticide residues in QuEChERS extracts of food. Hans Mol will share his experience with the development of a GC-Orbitrap workflow solution including optimization of the instrumental parameters and method validation, for qualitative and quantitative multi-residue analysis.
Listen to Key Experts Roundtable Discussion. This interactive dialogue will feature four world-renowned experts in the field of food safety and pesticide analysis who will address the critical aspects of pesticide analysis workflows needed to achieve valid and comprehensive results.

Additional pesticide residues analysis webinars
Screening and quantitation using HRAM Orbitrap™ MS technology is a highly accurate and sensitive method which has the advantages of reduced method development time and reduced false positives and negatives. A turnkey, start-to-finish method to screen and quantify 500 pesticides has been developed in grape matrix. An HRAM spectral library consisting of over 2000 unique environmental and food compounds enabled 16 pesticides to be quantified and confirmed at ppb levels.

A multi-residue method for herbal products and teas is faced with additional challenges from the worldwide origin of the products and the complex matrix of the dried materials. In the due quality control of raw materials, the unknown or undeclared local plant protection treatments must be taken into account with a wide variety of potential pesticide contaminations.
Herbal food supplements and phytopharmaceuticals have become an important part of consumers’ health care in recent years and their popularity is constantly growing. In this presentation, a multi-analyte method for target analysis of 323 pesticide residues, 56 mycotoxins, and 11 pyrrolizidine alkaloids using QuEChERS extraction method and UHPLC–HRAM- MS/MS will be presented.
Jon W. Wong, Research Chemist at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, College Park, MD USA discusses why sensitive and unambiguous identification of chemical analytes and contaminants in foods is a challenge for food safety and control.
Development and Optimization of an Ultrahigh-Performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole-orbitrap.
The EU Commission stipulates sampling levels and frequencies for residues in vegetable and animal products and matrices in order to check for illegitimate used substances. Compared to time and effort to fulfill these requirements the number of used sample preparation and instrument methods increased. This indicates that there is a clear need for quick and simple screening and quantification methods to routinely and accurately control levels of residues. The presentation demonstrates that with the Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus, a high-resolution mass spectrometer, it is possible to screen and quantify in one chromatographic run with reliable results in determination and quantification.
