Meet Shimadzu at the European Pesticide Residue Workshop in Bologna
Please join us at our booth at EPRW 2022 in Bologna. The European Pesticide Residue Workshop (EPRW) is the most important meeting for the presentation and discussion of the latest concepts and developments in the field of pesticide residues in food and drinks. This time we expect more than 500 experts from all over the world, coming from govermental and private food control laboratories, public authorities, regulatory bodies, universities and research institutes, food producers and distributors, agrochemical manufactures and other interested parties. We are looking forward to seeing you in Bologna!
Vendor Session
"Ensuring consumer safety - the complete solution for pesticide Analysis“

We cordially invite you to our Vendor Seminar in cooperation with Axel Semrau for the latest developments in pesticide analysis:
SFC-MS/MS vs LC-MS/MS for the pesticide residue analysis in food samples

Supercritical fluid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (SFC-MS/MS) has proved to be an efficient alternative to reverse-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). A detailed study has been made using the same mass spectrometer coupled to both types of chromatography. How the different substance groups and their polarity behaves in each technic were studied. In addition, temperature, matrix effect, and sensitivity evaluations were performed. In the end, a comprehensive evaluation of the benefits and drawbacks of these chromatography modes for routine pesticide residue analysis related to target compounds/commodities is provided.
Product Lineup
Please come and visit us on our booth to get more information for the following instruments:
LCMS-8060NX: “Maximized sensitivity – minimized matrix effects in Pesticide Analysis”
In the newly-developed IonFocus unit, the ion transport electrodes reduce sensitivity loss from matrix effects by expelling neutral matrix particles with greater efficiency. Using the LCMS-8060NX's world-class polarity reversal speed (5 ms) and data capture speed (1.5 ms), stable data was obtained even for high-speed analysis of multiple components. The IonFocus unit also introduces ions into the detector more efficiently, improving the signal intensity. Of 100 compounds tested in tea leaves, 96% showed excellent recoveries.
GCMS TQ-8050 NX „Ultra-High-Sensitivity Triple Quadrupole GC-MS for Food testing“
Equipped with a new highly efficient detector and three forms of noise-reduction technologies, the GCMS-TQ8050 NX is capable of performing unprecedented quantitative analyses of ultra-trace amounts, down to the femtogram level.
SFC-MS/MS: “Pesticide Analysis by SFC-MS”
SFC-MS/MS can be used to separate numerous pesticides with a wide range of different polarities, and it also achieves a marked increase in sensitivity for a large number of compounds. The combination of intrinsic universal sensitivity and specificity of the Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer with the versatility of supercritical fluid chromatography technique offers an appealing alternative to the conventional LC-MS approach.
