Bruker describes a compound-based scanning approach that it believes will simplify method development and data processing for multi-residue analysis.
Tandem mass spectrometer coupled to gas chromatography, such as GC-MS/MS, operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, has become the method of choice for targeted screening of multi-residue analysis in complex food matrix samples.
The popularity of this method is due to the high specificity of results and the capability to monitor many product ions from a large number of pesticides.
Analytical laboratories following established regulations are required to measure multiple MRMs for each target pesticides.
The requirement to run several hundreds or even thousands of MRMs in one method is therefore common.
MRM method development is complicated and time consuming, requiring the set-up of an MRM acquisition table and results processing.
However, using a compound-based scanning approach, this can be simplified.
