Tandem Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer 'Xevo TQ-S micro'

The APGC ion source equipped with the soft ionization method developed by Waters achieves high sensitivity and high selectivity compared to conventional EI methods, significantly expanding the scope of quantitative analysis using GC-MS. Furthermore, there is no decrease in sensitivity even when changing the carrier gas from helium to nitrogen, making it an effective measure against helium shortages. Additionally, it allows for the direct analysis of acetonitrile solutions after QuEChERS purification with low injection volumes, providing practical advantages such as improved efficiency in sample preparation and prevention of loss of low-boiling compounds. In this webinar, Waters' analytical chemists will introduce the features of APGC and its application in pesticide residue analysis, while also inviting customers who are active in the front lines of analytical work to share practical insights on simplifying sample preparation and reducing maintenance through increased sensitivity. ■ Target Audience Individuals engaged in high-sensitivity pesticide residue analysis using GC-MS, those considering the efficiency of sample preparation processes, and those interested in the use of alternative gases to helium. ■ Program Overview of the APGC ion source and explanation of comparisons and differences with the EI method; introduction of APGC features and examples of pesticide residue analysis from the user's perspective.

Rapid and reproducible analysis of high-polarity pesticides without derivatization Waters' Anionic Polar Pesticide Column has been developed to provide a reliable analytical method when combined with Waters UPLC-MS/MS technology. Dedicated columns for applications targeting substances like glyphosate enable excellent retention, peak shape, and separation of a range of anionic polar pesticides without the need for derivatization. We will also introduce the latest tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer used for this analysis. Program - Challenges in the analysis of glyphosate - Introduction of the Anionic Polar Pesticides (APP) column - Challenges (retention, separation, reliability, detection) - Analytical methods and reliability of the APP column - Introduction of the latest tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer
