Fast and Robust Analysis of Anionic and Cationic Pesticides on a Single Column
Polar pesticides are a few of the most challenging compounds to be analyzed by analytical methods.
Their extensive use in agriculture has raised safety concerns around the world and the routine analysis of these compounds has become a requirement for many food laboratories. A growing list of analytes, complex matrices, proper retention and separation of these compounds, and reproducibility are just a few of the challenges testing labs have to deal with.
Key Learning Points:
Overcome critical challenges in polar pesticides analysis and throughput.
Develop and optimize a robust method for cationic and anionic pesticides.
Learn new advances in column selectivity and MS for optimized separation of polar pesticides.
Who Should Attend:
Any LC users who want to learn about a faster yet robust analysis of polar pesticides or any lab managers who would need consolidation of anionic and cationic pesticides on a single column.
