Orbitrap GC-MS for Quantitative and Qualitative Multi-residue Analysis of Pesticides
The recent introduction of high resolution, accurate mass (HRAM) OrbitrapTM technology coupled to GC brings a new level of performance and flexibility in full scan acquisition and more. Comparable sensitivity and selectivity of triple quadrupole GC-MS/MS, but with broad scope, and the capability for simultaneous targeted and non-targeted analysis of pesticides at low ng/g concentrations, in complex sample types. In this Q & A, Paul Silcock discusses the story so far, around the use of Orbitrap GC-MS for quantitative and qualitative multi-residue analysis of pesticides.

Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
