Analysis of Organophosphorus Pesticides
Using Nexis GC-2030
LAAN-A-GC-E059A
Cases have been reported of health problems due to foods
contaminated with pesticides, and there is currently
heightened interest in food safety countermeasures. Using
a detector with high selectivity for specific components, or
a mass spectrometer highly capable of qualitative analysis
are effective when analyzing trace components in foods
and other samples in which there are many impurities.
The FPD-2030 flame photometric detector, which is
installed in Nexis GC-2030 gas chromatograph, has the
world's highest level of sensitivity* thanks to the optimized
nozzle shape and the advanced dual focus system.
In the analysis of pesticides in foods, this detector provides
high sensitivity and high stability.
In this Application News, we introduce an analysis of
organophosphorus pesticides using Nexis GC-2030 gas
chromatograph, which is equipped with the FPD-2030.

Analysis Results
A mixture standard solution of 54 organophosphorus
pesticides* (20 mg/L) was introduced via split injection,
and the elution positions of each pesticide were
confirmed.
