Regulations governing the use of pesticides impose Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) in food products requiring analytical techniques that are sensitive, selective, and robust. Multi-residue analysis is challenging due to the low levels present, the wide range of pesticides, and the different chemical classes represented. Waters provides UPLC/MS/MS, UPLC/MS Tof and APGC/MS/MS systems for the detection and identification of pesticides.  Combined with our Analytical Standards & Reagents, column & sample preparation products, and data management software, these solutions are designed to accelerate throughput, enhance sensitivity, increase accuracy, and ensure compliance.
