Abstract:
The determination of pesticide residues by HPLC-MS/MS requires decisions on a multitude of analytical parameters. This includes the selection of eluents, columns and ion sources, but also the optimization of the tandem mass spectrometer for the selected target analytes. Another aspect is the use of the restricted acquisition time between two chromatographic data points. An appropriate selection of all these parameters as well as the measures to avoid interference by cross talks and wrong quantitative results by matrix effects is discussed in this chapter.
