Unlocking Pesticide Analysis Excellence: Proven Tactics for Optimal Results with Helium and Hydrogen

Delve into the GC/TQ pesticide analysis workflow, from sample preparation to robust results over hundreds of injections.

We will uncover the expert strategies for enhancing analytical performance in the analysis of pesticides in challenging food matrices with the 7000E GC/TQ and the 7010C GC/TQ. From EMR pass-through cleanup to the benefits of a midcolumn backflush, GC injection optimization, column considerations with helium and hydrogen, GC method translation, retention time locking, and the consumables designed to simplify the setup, we will reveal the keys to success with both helium and hydrogen carrier gases.

Elevate your analysis with tips and tricks that bring out the best in your results.
