Speeding Up Pesticide Analysis Using Low-Pressure GC-MS/MS

Low-pressure gas chromatography (LPGC) paired with quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry can greatly minimize the time required to analyze complicated mixtures using gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS).

In this webinar, the theory of LPGC will be discussed, followed by an explanation of a novel short collision cell technology.

Experimental data from the analysis of over 240 pesticides using LPGC will be shown, followed by a discussion of how the two technologies complement one another and some of the choices for modifying the analysis.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Discover how an LPGC column can minimize GC analysis time while achieving excellent separation.
  • Learn about short collision cell technologies and how they complement LPGC analysis.
  • See how LPGC, with a short collision cell, can test over 240 pesticides in less than 11 minutes and how the analysis may be tailored to your laboratory's specific needs.

About the Presenter

Dr. Jensen began his graduate studies at the Colorado School of Mines in 2008, where he was taught mass spectrometry by Dr. Kent Voorhees.

His dissertation research encompassed multiple key areas: analyzing nitro-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in biofuel combustion, developing a lateral flow immunoassay strip for Bacillus anthracis detection via bacteriophage amplification, and conducting multivariate statistical analysis of metal oxide laser ionization mass spectral data for bacterial identification.

He earned his Ph.D. in Applied Chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in December 2014. Following this, he joined Osaka University as a research scientist and was promoted to assistant research professor after two years.

In 2019, he joined JEOL USA, Inc. as an applications chemist, where he currently works on projects involving the JMS-TQ4000GC triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer.
