Quantitative analysis of pesticides and mycotoxins in cannabis flower as defined by Massachusetts state regulations
A single instrument solution for an efficient return-on-investment
Key features of SCIEX QTRAP 6500+ system for cannabis analysis
- Single injection to help meet Massachusetts pesticide1 and mycotoxin regulations in cannabis flower
- Analysis done entirely in electrospray ionization (ESI)
- Method performance demonstrated in cannabis flower extracts fortified ≤ Massachusetts required reporting limits1
- Isotopic internal standards correct for matrix effects across multiple matrices
- Quick and easy acquisition method creation using the SCIEX vMethod application
- Technical support and expertise online through SCIEX Now learning hub and via onsite training with cannabis experts
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.
