PesticideScreener 2.0 Comprehensive Pesticide Screening and Quantitation Innovation with Integrity

The Challenge of Comprehensive Pesticide Analysis The use of pesticides to reduce crop damage and increase horticultural productivity has been implemented on a global scale for many decades. Due to their toxicity, the potential migration of these chemicals into the human food and water supply chains presents considerable health concerns for the population at large. Therefore the maximum residue level (MRL) permitted for pesticides in food, feedstuffs and water are strictly controlled by local and international regulatory bodies. One of the most important aspects in reducing pesticide...

The Power of Accurate Mass for Screening and Quantitation The Bruker PesticideScreener is based on industry leading Liquid Chromatography - Quadrupole Time of Flight (LC-QTOF) accurate mass technology. The use of accurate mass for trace pesticide residue screening has significant throughput and cost-saving benefits as it potentially allows for an unlimited number of pesticides to be analyzed in a single run without the need to use expensive standards for every compound. Sample Fruit / vegetable: QuEChERS Water: SPE, LLE or direct injection LC-QTOF UHPLC + Bruker QTOF Chromatographic...

Broadband CID (bbCID) Data Acquisition Measurement of the precursor accurate mass and retention time alone can lead to a high number of false positive results, particularly with complex matrices such as QuEChERS extractions. However by including ‘diagnostic‘ qualifier ion (QI) information as a mandatory requirement in the confirmation criteria, false positive detections are practically eliminated, delivering maximum confidence in your screening result. Accurate mass measurement Precursor ion monoisotopic mass (M+H) or adduct e.g. (M+Na) Possible detection, with very low confidence in ID...

Eliminate False Positive Findings and solution lies the accurate mass pesticide database. In addition to monoisotopic precursor ion masses and retention time data, the database also contains diagnostic Ql information, comprising of accurate mass bbCID fragments and 'in source' fragment ions as well as adduct and isomer information (see figure 3). The PesticideScreener retention time adjusted by the user for each pesticide Tolerances for EIC width, intensity/ area threshold, isotopic fit ...etc. can be adjusted by the user for each ion of every pesticide exclusion criteria Multiple qualifier...

Intelligent Data Review Data processing for screening and quantitation is powered by TASQ (Target Analysis for Screening and Quantitation) software. TASQ intelligently uses the diagnostic Ql's to reduce false positive detections, bringing a new level of confidence to screening workflows (see figures 5 and 6). Color coded screening results are easily reviewed in either a sample centric or analyte centric fashion as desired by the analyst. Once reviewed, qualitative and quantitative sample reports are then easily MP.5Q Am/z[ppmJ AP.T[min] mSigma Area Height Top pane: Screening result table...

Quantitation Over a Wide Dynamic Range… If calibration standards are incorporated into the experiment, then a combined screening and quantitation experiment is realised without the need for a second sample injection.
