Overview
As global pesticides regulations evolve, food safety labs are under ever-increasing pressure to screen samples for more pesticides faster and at a competitive cost. Our high-throughput, full-workflow solutions for quantitative analysis by GC-, LC-, and IC-MS help you stay on top of testing across all classes of pesticides and achieve maximum return on investment through decreased sample turnaround time, maximum uptime, and instrument control through a single software platform.
Powering productivity in your pesticide analysis
Thermo Scientific Chromeleon 7.3.2 Chromatography Data System (CDS) delivers new features and enhancements to support pesticide analysis, providing all the tools needed to keep up with ever-evolving guidelines, such as SANTE guidelines, and maximize your output.
Comprehensive workflow solutions
We offer tested workflows to help you mitigate bottlenecks in your laboratory. These workflow solutions include all the components you need for successful method setup and data analysis, including consumables, chromatography and mass spectrometry systems, software and built-in instrument and data processing methods.
LC-MS pesticide analysis workflow
Thermo Scientific Pesticide Explorer provides a comprehensive liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) workflow that reduces startup time and cost, while helping laboratories meet regulatory guidelines, such as the European Union SANTE Guidelines, for pesticide residues in food. This workflow can analyze more than 500 multi-class residues in a single 15-minute analysis and offers confident quantitation with robust, validated multiresidue pesticide data acquisition and processing methods and an extensive pesticide database of more than 600 compounds, including selected reaction monitoring (SRM) transitions and retention times.
IC-MS anionic pesticide analysis workflow
Thermo Scientific Anionic Pesticides Explorer helps streamline compliance and productivity for analysis of anionic pesticides. This ion chromatography-mass spectrometry (IC-MS) workflow offers reliable quantitation of polar anionic pesticides, including glyphosate, glufosinate, fosetyl, chlorate and more, in a single analysis and without the need for sample derivatization. It increases productivity by consolidating multiple methods in a single analysis and is compliant with regulatory guidance including the European Union SANTE Guidelines for pesticide residues.
Sample prep, analytical systems and software
We offer products that cover the entire workflow of pesticide residue analysis from sample preparation, to chromatographic separation to detection via mass spectrometry, software platforms and data analysis programs.
From sample management to data analysis, we offer software solutions for your pesticide residues workflows, including identification, quantification and confirmation of pesticide residue compounds.
Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE)
Automated ASE is a flexible technique with no matrix limitations. Pesticide extraction is quick and uses just a small volume of solvent for high-fat, low-moisture or high-water-content samples.
QuEChERS Sample Preparation Kits
Our QuEChERS sample preparation kits include both extraction and cleanup kits that contain ready-weighed sales, sorbents, and buffers to streamline your LC-MS or GC-MS pesticide analysis workflow and minimize errors.
µSPE Clean-up Tool
The automated, cartridge-based micro Solid Phase Extraction (µSPE) Clean-up Tool for QuEChERS extracts helps you achieve reliable, high-throughput GC-MS analysis of pesticides.
Whether your goal is to achieve precise QA/QC results or to discover the next breakthrough method or compound, our chromatography solutions can provide the separation capabilities your method requires, while our mass spectrometry systems offer unparalleled detection and quantitation capabilities.
Chromatography options
Different types of chromatography are most appropriate for different types of pesticide analysis. Whether you are investigating polar or non-polar pesticides; charged, uncharged; volatile or non-volatile, we have the right system to meet your needs.

Mass spectrometry (MS) options
Your mass spectrometry needs depend on the type of analysis you are performing. You may be part of a lab that requires only targeted quantitative analysis of your samples or works with pre-defined methods. Or you may need the additional resolution and mass sensitivity of a high-resolution accurate-mass (HRAM) mass spectrometer for screening for unknown pesticide residues, consolidating multiple method or conducting retrospective analysis after data acquisition. Either way, our broad portfolio of mass spectrometry systems has you covered.
