Using Automated Software for Improved Results in GC-Triple Quadrupole Pesticide Analysis
Thursday, June 7, 2012
11:00 AM EDT
New challenges that arise when using GC-triple quadrupole technology for complex analysis, such as pesticides in food, include the determination of the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transitions that make up a typical MS/MS method and the maintenance of the acquisition windows when a large number of compounds are being monitored.
In this webinar, a strategy for addressing both of these challenges is discussed in the context of new software designed to automate common method development and method maintenance tasks.
