Detection of carbendazim residue at concentrations below 10 PPB is possible without sample preparation or pre-concentration

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving science, is proud to announce a selective and sensitive method for direct analysis of trace levels of fluoroacetate (FA, compound 1080) in environmental water samples.

Developers of analytical instrumentation for food laboratories are constantly being kept on their toes—foremost by the competing technical advancements and expanding market demands inherent in their business, and also by the need to help customers comply with changing and more stringent regulatory requirements worldwide.

The ever-increasing sophistication of today’s laboratory technologies means that scientific researchers must be constantly finding new ways to improve the quality, efficiency, and pace of their research to ensure success.

Early in the evolution of chromatography- mass spectrometry, one could consider the two components as separate boxes requiring a good deal of engineering to link them together.

Liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry(LC/MS) is one of the most powerful analytical tools for organic compound analysis.

Goal: Develop a robust LC/MS method for the analysis of illicit drug salt forms.

Goal:Optimize a UHPLC/MS method with respect to stationary phase, mobile phase, and detector settings to achieve picogram level quantitation of 14 drugs and metabolites employing a 12 minutes separation.

Positively identify trace amounts of cannabinoids in a complex food matrix quickly, with minimal sample preparation and no chemical derivatization. 

Simvastatin, (together with mevastatin and lovastatin in Figure 1), a hypolipidemic drug belonging to the “statin” family, is commonly used to control elevated cholesterol levels and to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
