Efficient Peak Integration for Analyzing Residual Pesticides in Foods Using Peakintelligence™ LC/MS Peak Processing Software

User Benefits

- Reduces the time and trouble required for peak integration. - With no need to specify parameter settings, it provides identical results regardless of who performs peak integration.

Introduction

As food imports and exports increase, the number of regulated pesticide types and the maximum residue limits (MRL) in various foods have been increasing as well. Consequently, food safety testing and research institutions need to supply accurate information more quickly. Data analysis for multiple components or multiple analytes requires visually checking a large number of peaks, which is a very time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Furthermore, due to risks of human errors or the habits of individuals affecting analytical results, there is a need for peak integration methods that minimize such risks. Peakintelligence is peak processing software with algorithms developed using artificial intelligence (AI) for liquid chromatograph mass spectrometers (LC/MS). This article describes an example of using Peakintelligence software to reduce the labor requirements and increase the efficiency of the peak integration process involved in analyzing residual pesticides.
