Targeted trace analysis using GC-MS/MS

Meeting low level regulatory requirement for routine food and environmental testing

When performing analysis of contaminants using GC-MS/MS in order to ensure food safety and protect the environment, it is essential to meet all regulatory requirements. As well as the sensitivity to meet these regulation GC-MS/MS systems must have extended uptimes, be easy to implement into laboratory workflows and simple to use. 

The following resources will provide insights on:

  • Meeting regulatory requirements within food and environmental testing with GC-MS/MS

  • Implementation of software and hardware to enable productivity gains

  • Method consolidation to increase productivity and asset utilization 

Trace analysis of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins/dibenzofurans using GC-MS/MS in accordance with EU Regulations 2017/644 and 2017/771 for food and feed

Comprehensive experiments demonstrating that the TSQ 9610GC-MS/MS system, configured with the NeverVent AEI source and controlled using Chromeleon CDS software together with the Dioxin Analyzer eWorkflow, can deliver reliable regulatory-compliant performance for the quantification and confirmation of PCDD/Fs food and feedstuffs.
