Food safety is a topic of great interest globally. With recent contamination issues in a wide range of commodities, ensuring the quality of our food supply is becoming increasingly important. Pesticide residue content is one area of concern. While pesticides have typically been monitored by gas chromatography, polar and/or thermally unstable pesticides are difficult or impossible to monitor using this approach. Thus, traditional HPLC techniques are used for select pesticide classes, such as the carbamate and phenylurea pesticides.
With recent advances in LC/MS/MS instrumentation, this technique is quickly gaining acceptance for pesticide residue testing. LC/MS/MS can be used to simultaneously monitor hundreds of potential contaminants—including those difficult to detect by GC. Using both LC/MS/MS and GC approaches allows for a faster, more complete picture of pesticide residues. MS/MS technology also permits identification of the target pesticides through the selection of specific MRM transitions for each compound. For example, aldicarb, a carbamate pesticide, uses two MRM transitions of 208.2->89.1amu and 208.2->116.1amu.
While the MS/MS detector allows for specific, sensitive detection of the pesticide species, the LC separation is still important to ensure the highest quality data. Conventional C18 stationary phases are typically used for pesticide monitoring, but the selectivity and retention is poor for more polar species. In contrast, Ultra Aqueous C18 columns are ideal for multi-pesticide residue monitoring methods. In Figure 1, the analysis of more than 280 pesticides using the 3µm Ultra Aqueous C18 is shown. Optimized stationary phase selectivity allows for an even distribution of the compounds throughout the retention time window (Tables I and II). As well, retention of more polar pesticides is greatly improved, as demonstrated in Figure 1C. The Ultra Aqueous C18 column, in a 100 x 2.1mm, 3µm configuration is the column of choice for LC/MS/MS pesticide monitoring methods.
Ultra-high pressure LC (UHPLC) can also be used with MS/MS detection for monitoring pesticide residues. UHPLC allows for higher sample throughput when used in conjunction with a highly efficient <2µm particle size column. The 1.9µm Pinnacle® DB Aqueous C18, in a 50 x 2.1mm configuration, is ideally suited for this application, as shown in Figure 2.
Using LC/MS/MS technology and Aqueous C18 columns, in combination with gas chromatography, results in the most comprehensive monitoring of pesticide residues. Labs interested in more complete multi-residue analysis of pesticides in food matrices, including difficult polar or thermally unstable compounds, should consider adding LC/MS/MS and Aqueous C18 columns to routine testing procedures. The Aqueous C18 phase is also available on 1.9µm Pinnacle® DB silica for UHPLC platforms.
