Pesticides – Products

Concern about trace-level food contaminants is driving the demand for robust, rapid and reliable methods for identification and quantitation of chemical residues and contaminants in food matrices.

Laboratories performing environmental, food and biopharmaceutical testing can now increase productivity, reduce errors and minimize personnel time and solvent use with a new, all-in-one, automated chromatography sample preparation system.

There is a growing demand for more rapid methods with maintained robustness and chromatographic performance for the identification and quantitation of chemical residues in food analysis.

The increasing global demand for food has led to a growing use of pesticides, resulting in elevated risks of trace level chemical pollutants in food. Rapid and reliable methods are required to identify and quantify these pollutants with high sensitivity and over a wide dynamic range.

Since there are no federal regulations for pesticide analysis in cannabis, individual states have developed their own regulations outlining the list of pesticides to monitor and the maximum residue limits or acceptable limits for each pesticide.

Ensuring food safety and quality is increasingly challenging. Whether you're analyzing for pesticide residues, ensuring that label claims are correct and accurate, or profiling for food authenticity, you need a system that delivers low detection levels and high sensitivity.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. is providing laboratories performing food safety analysis with a new ion chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) workflow solution for regulatory compliant, cost-effective and reliable analysis of quaternary ammonium pesticides (Quats).

Autoscribe Informatics is pleased to announce a new case study highlighting the work of the University of Iceland’s forensic toxicology laboratory.

Waters Corporation has introduced the new Xevo™ TQ Absolute system, the most sensitive and compact benchtop tandem mass spec in its class.

BioChromato Inc. has published an interview that describes a new bioremediation technique developed by a leading Environmental Research Center and how the Smart Evaporator C1 offers a productive tool for preparing microbial degradation culture media for analysis.
