We offer tested workflows to help you mitigate bottlenecks in your laboratory. These workflow solutions include all the components you need for successful method setup and data analysis, including consumables, chromatography and mass spectrometry systems, software and built-in instrument and data processing methods.

Advanced integrated GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS workflow for pesticides

Advanced integrated GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS workflow for pesticides

This integrated GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS workflow is a pre-configured, out-of-the-box pesticides solution, which combines the two analytical techniques for the analysis of up to 697 different pesticides. It is based on QuEChERS extraction and clean-up, followed by determination using the latest GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS instruments, fully integrated with the Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System (CDS) built for pesticides. It was developed with industry-leading customers and collaborators to optimize every workflow step.

IC-MS/MS anionic pesticide analysis workflow

IC-MS/MS anionic pesticide analysis workflow

Thermo Scientific Anionic Pesticides Explorer helps streamline compliance and productivity for analysis of anionic pesticides. This ion chromatography-mass spectrometry (IC-MS/MS) workflow offers reliable quantitation of polar anionic pesticides, including glyphosate, glufosinate, fosetyl, chlorate and more, in a single analysis and without the need for sample derivatization. It increases productivity by consolidating multiple methods in a single analysis and is compliant with regulatory guidance including the European Union SANTE Guidelines for pesticide residues.

Mass spectrometry (MS) options

Your mass spectrometry needs depend on the type of analysis you are performing. You may be part of a lab that requires only targeted quantitative analysis of your samples or works with pre-defined methods. Or you may need the additional resolution and mass sensitivity of a high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) mass spectrometer for screening for unknown pesticide residues, consolidating multiple method or conducting retrospective analysis after data acquisition. Either way, our broad portfolio of mass spectrometry systems has you covered.
