Analysis of Pesticides in Baby Foods Using a GCMS-TQ8030 GC/MS/MS, Part II

Introduction

This application note presents instrument configuration, operating parameters, and analytical results for analysis of 36 pesticides from various chemical classes in a QuEChERS extract of baby food using the Shimadzu GCMS-TQ8030 triple quadrupole GC/MS/MS (Figure 1). Results were evaluated for calibration linearity, analytical precision, and accuracy in a baby food matrix. Selectivity as a function of variable mass spectral resolution settings on the two sets of quadrupoles, Q1 and Q3, is also discussed.
