Keeping pesticides out of our food supply

Keeping pesticides out of our food supply

Agilent's LC/MS and GC/MS instruments accurately analyze pesticide residues in foods Agilent's LC/MS and GC/MS instruments accurately analyze pesticide residues in foods.

As the food supply becomes increasingly global, labs like yours must monitor a wider range of pesticides than ever before. You have to detect and measure hundreds of compounds and do it quickly, which means you need multi-residue processes and sample-preparation techniques that are both accurate and cost effective.

Agilent has you covered with solutions ideally suited to such demands, particularly fast, sensitive chromatographic methods and mass spec systems. Even with challenging food matrices where you may want to dilute the sample in order to wash away interferences, our instruments have the sensitivity you need to still achieve trace-level detection of your target.

Combined LC/MS and GC/MS multi-residue methods from Agilent cover the majority of compounds of interest for a given lab, and we can help you develop a sample-preparation strategy to produce an extract suitable for either method.

We also offer unique methods suitable for compounds requiring special extraction/clean-ups or chromatography.
