Simultaneous Determination of Residues of Approximately 100 Pesticides and Metabolites in Fruit and Vegetables by LC/MS/MS

Many pesticides, which are difficult or generally not to analyse by GC/MS, can be identified and quantified by LC/MS/MS. After simple solvent extraction and fast cleanup the extracts are analysed using matrix-matched standards. The drawback of MS/MS methods is laborious parameter optimization for each target analyte. This effort can...

Determination of Polar Organophosphorus Pesticides in Aqueous Samples by Direct Injection Using HPLC/MS/MS

A very straightforward method for the analysis of the very polar organophosphorus pesticides (OPs), acephate, methamidophos, omethoate, oxydemeton-methyl, vamidothion, and monocrotophos in water has been developed. Large volume (1 ml) water samples were directly injected onto a RP18 HPLC column with a polar endcapping. The compounds were ionized using APCI and detected on a tandem mas...
