Exploring the Exposome Part 1: You Are What You Eat
How an old adage takes on a darker meaning, when we consider exogenous compound exposure.
“Environmental exposure is a direct route for human uptake, but, even more commonly, environmental exposure of agricultural commodities can lead to plant and/or animal uptake, which is then subsequently passed onto humans through diet. Recent examples of PFAS found in milk highlight this; cows were exposed to PFAS via their environment (sources of drinking water, and so on) and the milk and milk-based products that were produced contain these same compounds.”
Exploring the Exposome – Part 2: Glyphosate in Drinking Water
How innovative method development can help us to understand the impact of glyphosate pollution on our drinking water
Exploring the Exposome – Part 3: Testing Food for Mycotoxins

[eBook]: An Overview of Testing for Mycotoxins and Plant Toxins in Food Using LC-MS/MS
Mycotoxin contamination impacts the food industry. Whether you’re a crop producer or in a testing lab, tools are available for detection. This eBook highlights the benefits of LC-MS/MS for determining mycotoxins and plant toxins in food, helping you start your testing journey. Let’s safeguard agriculture together.
[App Note]: Determination of Chlormequat Chloride Residues in Cereals by LC-MS/MS
Recent US reports found chlormequat chloride residues in cereals, despite its limited approval. Waters developed an LC-MS/MS method using QuPPe extraction and BEH™ Amide column for detecting such residues. The method showed 94-102% accuracy and <4% repeatability, proving suitable for compliance checks and low-concentration determinations.
[Whitepaper]: How Appropriate Clean-Up Can Improve the Robustness of an LC-MS/MS Method for the Determination of Multiple Mycotoxins in a Range of Food Matrix
In this whitepaper, we present the results of a series of tests to evaluate the robustness of two approaches, performed using the same UPLC-MS/MS method, but with and without applying the SPE clean-up step.
