Pesticide Analysis: GC-MS
• Many compounds not amenable to LC separation • Low polarity–poor atmospheric pressure ionization
• GC offers good separation efficiency • Choice of detectors • Easy coupling with MS for increased
selectivity • EI/CI spectra for identification of analytes
![Page 6: Chromatography: Pesticide Residue Analysis Webinar Series: Part 3 of 4: Maximizing Analysis Efficiency through GC-MS Approaches](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b84ad4bb61eb64028b47fb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Hot split/splitless
Programmed Temperature
PTV
Typical GC Injector Choices for pesticides
• Liquid introduction by syringe
“GC Injection is the Achilles Heel in GC”
Bertsch 1983, Univ. Alabama
• Most commonly used technique • Split/Splitless injection (SSL) • Programmed temperature (PTV)
![Page 11: Chromatography: Pesticide Residue Analysis Webinar Series: Part 3 of 4: Maximizing Analysis Efficiency through GC-MS Approaches](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b84ad4bb61eb64028b47fb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11
GC Inlets • Splitless
• maximum sensitivity • excellent repeatability for low volumes • simple, probably most wide used
• Split
• reproducible • less discrimination (short residence time) • Shoot and Dilute
• Programmed Temperature Vaporising (PTV) injector • versatile and excellent performance if optimised • reduced discrimination • many liner types (baffled, dimpled, packed, etc) • packed liners (possible discrimination) • large volume injection (solvent removal/exchange in liner)
• Cool on-column (not widely used)
![Page 12: Chromatography: Pesticide Residue Analysis Webinar Series: Part 3 of 4: Maximizing Analysis Efficiency through GC-MS Approaches](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b84ad4bb61eb64028b47fb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
GC Liner Selection for Pesticides
• In pesticide analyisis QuEChERS extractions are typical and result in extractions in acetonitrile.
• Many labs use acetonitrile as GC injection solvent • Requires careful method optimisation
• Considerations in liner selection for acetonitrile injections are: • Internal diameter • Type of injection • Packing of liner • Other liner features ie baffles....
![Page 13: Chromatography: Pesticide Residue Analysis Webinar Series: Part 3 of 4: Maximizing Analysis Efficiency through GC-MS Approaches](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b84ad4bb61eb64028b47fb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13
GC liners – Type of Injection
• Split • Typically open ended at the bottom • Enables split flow to pass across the bottom of the liner removing a portion of the
sample, allowing a split injection to be performed
• Splitless
• Typically tapered at the bottom with the column inserted into the taper • Funnels sample onto the column and minimizes sample contact with reactive metal
components
• PTV • Generally used with very active compounds such as pesticides • Good option for acetonitrile injection solvents • Thermally liable compounds protected
![Page 14: Chromatography: Pesticide Residue Analysis Webinar Series: Part 3 of 4: Maximizing Analysis Efficiency through GC-MS Approaches](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032618/55b84ad4bb61eb64028b47fb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
PTV Injector: Key Points
• Minimal thermal mass for fast cooling and heating
• Injection volumes from nano liter up to largevolume
• Cold injection technique
• Clean step possibility for keeping the liner inert
• Multiple injection modes

Guard columns
• Analytical columns with a length of 5-10 m of deactivated fused silica. They can be purchased already integrated or joined by a union.
• Provides the benefit of protecting the analytical column from
contamination of non-volatile residues. Very important when working with dirty sample extracts eg. QuEChERS.
• Can also act as a retention gap to improve analyte focussing. • Maintain retention time of analytes and SRM segments in the method. • Can be a source of leaks if using a connection. • Added maintenance

Pesticide MRM Database
The problem:
• Growing list of target compounds require continuous adjustment to an existing SRM database.
• Some SRM transitions are not suitable for all matrices. Addition of new SRM transitions can be time consuming.
The solution:
• Automated SRM development with AutoSRM.

Increase Laboratory Productivity
• Decrease the analysis time by shortening the GC run times. • More samples in less time.
• Increase the number of pesticides in a run. • More SRMs to accommodate within an analytical run.
• Improved selectivity for various matrices • Increase the number of SRMs per compound.
• Seeing beyond the targets • Full Scan and SRM data acquisition in the same experiment.

Q Exactive GC for Pesticide Analysis
• Launched at ASMS June 2015. • Screen (qualitative and quantitative) samples for pesticides within a single
analysis, fast and at a competitive cost.
• To increase the scope of the analysis, by using high resolution full scan mass spectrometry.
• Untargeted analysis where a generic full scan acquisition is run, followed by targeted data processing of a list of compounds.
• Retrospective data analysis is possible to identify new compounds that were not screened for at the time of acquisition.
