Analytical News: New pesticide package for polar pesticides

Probenteller

The laboratory team for pesticide analysis at AGROLAB LUFA has developed a new multi-method for the determination of polar pesticides (anions) that promises significant advantages for our customers compared to previous methods.

 

With the new multi-method, the following pesticide active ingredients and metabolites can be reliably determined with one work-up and in one analytical separation using LC MS/MS:

 

Active substance

        Metabolite

Limit of Quantification 
[mg/kg]

Ethephon

0,01

Fosetyl-Al

0,01
        Phosphonic acid   0,01

Glufosinate

0,01

         N-Acetyl-Glufosinate (NAG)

0,01

         MPP

0,01

Glyphosate

0,01

         AMPA

0,01

         N-Acetyl Glyphosate

0,01

         N-Acetyl AMPA

0,01
Maleic acid hydrazide

0,01

 

The process simplification is also positively reflected in the analysis time.

 

The method is suitable for the analysis of fruit and vegetable samples, as well as food and feed samples, with the exception of some special matrices, such as fatty acid mixtures.

 

YOUR PLUS: The new multi-method will expand the routine range of pesticide residue analysis at AGROLAB LUFA in Kiel from June 2023.
