JEOL USA will explore the capabilities of a contemporary gas chromatograph-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (GC-TQMS) to perform pesticide analysis of vegetables, fruits, and cannabis.
The company will briefly introduce the tool and its one-of-a-kind collision cell technology. It will then showcase the pesticide results of its cannabis experiments alongside data from various fruit and vegetable samples obtained from a local grocer.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand the foundational abilities of a contemporary GC-TQMS (the JEOL JMS-TQ4000GC)
- Learn about pesticide analysis of cannabis and other plant materials
- Discover how the GC-TQMS could benefit the lab

About the Presenter
In 2008, Dr. Jensen started at the Colorado School of Mines for graduate studies before studying mass spectrometry under Dr. Kent Voorhees during graduate school.
His dissertation included NPAH analysis in biofuel combustion, developing an LFI strip to detect Bacillus anthracis using bacteriophage amplification, and multivariate statistical analysis of MOLI mass spectral data of bacteria for identification. He gained a PhD in Applied Chemistry from the Colorado School of Mines in December 2014.
He then worked as a research scientist at Osaka University and was promoted to assistant research professor after two years. In 2019, he started at JEOL USA, Inc. as an applications chemist, and his current projects involve the JMS-TQ4000GC triple-quad mass spectrometer.
