Development and validation of methods for the simultaneous determination of more than 500 pesticides in food and water using Q TRAP LC-MS/MS
Project
Project code: BfR-SiN-08-1322-435
Contract period: 01.04.2010
- 31.12.2010
Purpose of research: Applied research
The spectral library of 541 pesticides prepared by the BfR in combination with the LC-MS-QTrap technology allows the simultaneous determination and confirmation of more than 500 pesticides in one run. Compared to this new technique the conventional LC-MS/MS is lim-ited to the analysis of approximately 250 pesticides in parallel. By the validation of the measuring method consisting of detection, quantification and confirmation the suitability of this method for laboratory practice should be demonstrated. Consequently, analytical costs are reduced and simultaneously a more complete screening for pesticides in food is possi-ble. This offers a valuable improvement of consumer protection.
