PROFICIENCY TESTS

Page 26: European Reference Laboratory - FV on MRM methods... · European Reference Laboratory - FV Adding of new compounds to the routine methods from the working document SANCO/12745/2013

European Reference Laboratory - FV

CONCLUSIONS

SFC provides a high sensitivity of the analysis

even with small amounts of sample injected:

- Absence of water.

- Evaporation of CO2 in the mobile phase.

The use of SFC-MS/MS allowed the

identification of the majority of 164 pesticides

in tomato (98%), orange (98%) and leek (94%)

at 5 µg/kg. Good recoveries (70-120%) were

obtained in cayenne (89%) and black pepper

(93%) at 50 µg/kg.Some polar and acidic compounds underwent

an increase of their signals. Their peak shapes

could also be improved.

Very low matrix effect was observed for most

compounds in all matrices studied.

CONCLUSIONS

GC and LC-HRMS provide very accurate

results improving the identification

confidence ( 10 ug/kg). In cases of

limitation in achieving analytical

standards prediction of presence/ no

presence can be provided.

In special GC-EI-HRMS can be easily

implemented in the laboratories very

effectively.

However, an increase of the sensitivity

around 5-10 times should be necessary

to be applied with the same workflows

than triple quadrupoles
