Pesticides – Products

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.
