Pesticide screening in food

PesticideScreener - the Total Screening Solution

Target screening for pesticides has typically been an application associated with triple quadrupole mass spectrometers. However, the huge and growing number of  target compounds is pushing the limits of even the latest generation triple quads.

Bruker TOF systems employ Full Sensitivity Resolution technology – giving high resolution without compromising sensitivity, at sub-ppm mass accuracy – and they also boast True Isotope Pattern (TIP) measurement, for added confidence.  Exceptionally stable mass measurement means that extracted ion traces with windows as low as 1 mDa can be used for selective extraction of components.  For ultimate confidence, fragment ions can be obtained and used as an extra identification parameter.

For maximum productivity, TargetAnalysis software provides efficient and comprehensive processing.  By checking retention times, accurate masses and isotopic fit against a target database, comprehensive analysis of theoretically unlimited numbers of target is enabled. 

A significant added benefit is retrospective examination of samples. Because the whole mass range is always acquired, it is easy to look for new compounds in old data sets simply by reprocessing.

Available as a complete solution with chromatographic method and target pesticide database, TOF/MS-based pesticide screening truly lets you do it all.
