Example chromatograms of imazalil, spiromesifen, and bifenazate are shown here to demonstrate the sensitivity using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) on the SCIEX QTRAP 6500+ system. Cyfluthrin isomers are shown to demonstrate the sensitivity and selectivity of MS/MS/MS using the QTRAP 6500+ system.
