Using the instrument’s MSn functionality allows the user to identify, confirm, and quantify in one analytical run. The injector demonstrated low endrin and DDT breakdown (< 15%) on a daily basis, proving that the system can analyze active compounds without the need for continual, expensive, and time-consuming maintenance. Calibration curves for most pesticides studied met a linear least squares calibration with a correlation coefficient of R2 > 0.995.
The Method Validation Study generated an average % RSD of 10.8% for five replicate analyses at 37.5, 75, 150, 225, 600, or 1200 ng/g and a calculated average LOD of 14 ng/g in tea based on 7 replicate analyses of 7.5, 15, 37.5, 75, or 300 ng/g These results demonstrate that the ITQ 700 can comply with international regulations for the control of pesticides in tea.详细>
