The triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) system has great advantages in the qualitative and quantitative detection of trace residual substances, and has always played an important role in pesticide detection. However, for researchers who have recently been exposed to LC-MS/MS or have taken on new detection projects, conducting a large amount of compound analysis is time-consuming and laborious, such as optimizing MRM parameters during method development, ion source parameters, LC conditions, and qualitatively confirming detection results during data processing. These processes all require a high level of proficiency from the testing personnel. How to simplify the method development process of triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, make the instrument operation convenient, and truly achieve user friendliness is the direction we have been striving for.

The analysis center has compiled and summarized long-term application data, launched the "LC-MS/MS Pesticide Analysis Method Package", and made the method package into a CD product. Greatly enhanced the promotional image of the Shimadzu LC-MS/MS analysis method package. For Shimadzu users, LC-MS/MS analysis method package can save method development time and significantly improve work efficiency; For potential users, fully applying the analysis method package can increase their recognition of instrument performance and purchase intention. Compared to Shimadzu Corporation's "LC-MS/MS Pesticide Residue Analysis Method Package (Chinese version)", the "LC-MS/MS Pesticide Analysis Method Package" has added 93 pesticides in Chinese standards, which is more in line with China's detection needs. This method covers the pesticides involved in the "2015 Pharmacopoeia - Detection of Pesticide Residues in Traditional Chinese Medicine" (155 types), "GB 2763-2016 Large Pesticide Residues in Food" (285 types), "2017 Hong Kong Pesticide Residue Regulations" (142 types), and "Ministry of Agriculture Risk Assessment Projects" (74 types).

The LC-MS/MS Pesticide Analysis Method Package contains 529 pesticide detection parameters, and the CD contains the following files
1、 LC-MS/MS_Pesticides_Database
2、 MS Library
3. LC-MS/MS method document
4. LC-MS/MS Integrated Solution for Pesticide Detection
5. LC-MS/MS Pesticide Detection Integrated Solution - Volume 2
6. 2013 Ministry of Agriculture Vegetable and Cowpea Risk Assessment Project
7. LC-MS/MS Pesticide Analysis Method Package Operation Guide
