Pittcon is pleased to announce the 2015 Technical Program that includes over 2,000 technical presentations offered in symposia, oral sessions, workshops, awards, and posters.

In this presentation, we will show the development of a workflow using a very generic extraction procedure and full scan MS/MS and high resolution MS and MS/MS data acquisition to confidently identify and accurately quantify targeted and non-targeted chemicals based on retention time, accurate mass, isotope pattern, sample-control comparisons, MS/MS library searching, empirical formula finding, ChemSpider searching, and automatic MS/MS fragment ion interpretation.
