In an effort to meet increasing global food demands the use of pesticides continues to proliferate. The growth in usage of pesticides can have significant environmental impact if these compounds leech into surrounding soil and waterways. Strict environmental monitoring is mandated to safeguard plants, wildlife and humans from harm as a result of exposure to these chemicals. 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.
