Analysis of Residual Pesticides Analysis of Residual Pesticides

Food knows no borders. With an increasing global population, food security is increasingly under threat and there is a Simultaneous Analysis of Residual Pesticides (GC-MS/MS) Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer
growing challenge for agriculture to produce more food, safely and more sustainably. The use of herbicides, insecticides, and GCMS-TQ8050

fungicides reduce crop losses both before and after harvest, and increase crop yields. However, pesticide residues resulting

from the use of plant protection products on crops may pose a risk to human health; as a result, regulatory guidelines have 6.0
been implemented to monitor pesticide residues in food. Shimadzu offers a wide range of instruments for pesticide testing, 5.0
from GC and LC with specific detectors to single and triple quadrupole mass spectrometers. 4.0
