1 Utilization of Rapid LC-MS for Screening and Quantitative Analysis of Pesticides in Food Matrix using an Exactive Plus Benchtop Orbitrap Platform Charles Yang, Leo Wang, Dipankar Ghosh, Jonathan Beck, Jamie Humphries; Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA
2 Introduction The demand for quick and simple analysis of large numbers of samples in agriculture analysis is growing year by year. Throughout the world pesticides are used to control pests that are harmful to crops, humans and animals. These substances can pose a significant health threat and therefore, need to be accurately detected at the lowest levels requested by the governmental authorities typically at low part per billion (ppb) or low part per trillion (ppt) levels. Traditionally, triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometers have been used by the food industry to identify and quantitate these residues. The Thermo Scientific Exactive Plus Orbitrap mass spectrometer provides high-resolution, accurate mass (HR/AM) to unequivocally identify compounds without time-consuming analysis. The results of this unique solution are improved sensitivity and precision. Mass spectrometric detection for screening experiments with HR/AM technology using full scan experiments can detect as many analytes as necessary using only one chromatographic run. An Exactive Plus mass spectrometer with the proven power of the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap mass analyzer and Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software for unified quantitative and targeted screening data processing fulfills these demands with higher confidence and precision. Methods Sample Preparation Onion matrix were prepared for analysis by using a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method, which is a sample preparation procedure used to extract pesticides from food. The QuEChERS extracts were obtained from the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA). For the QuEChERS extraction, 15 g of homogenized sample and 15 ml of acetonitrile were used. Then, 200 L of final QuEChERS extract, 300 L of acetonitrile, and 500 L of water were transferred into an autosampler vial, spiked with 20 L of the pesticides standard, and mixed well. A mixture of 60 pesticides with different starting concentrations was also provided by CDFA to make the standard calibration curve in neat matrix and onion matrix. Calibration of the Exactive Plus mass spectrometer was done with external calibration. There is no need to do lock masses because of the proven stability of the Orbitrap mass analyzer. Hardware The new Exactive Plus mass spectrometer has the proven S-Lens configuration for more ion transmission for more sensitivity. The neutral ions are removed with the bent flatapoles prior to entering the C-Trap. Then the ions are transported into the Orbitrap mass analyzer for HR/AM detection. The system also has an HCD collision cell past the C-trap where all ion fragmentation (AIF) happens. All the fragmented ions are then transported back into the C-Trap and sent into the Orbitrap mass analyzer for detection in accurate mass. (Figure 1) FIGURE 1.

HR/AM method development is focused only on the HPLC. Results Data processing was performed with TraceFinder software. Specificity of analysis was achieved by applying a mass window of 5 ppm to the theoretical mass of the analytes. All analytes gave very good linear response in the calibration range (0.01 to 0.10 ng/ml depending on starting concentration in mixture). TraceFinder software comes with many features including flagging. Figures 2 and 3 show how the yellow flags next to the name of the compound indicate the compound was not found in the sample. The red flag indicates that the compound has an issue with the calibration curve and it did not meet the flagging requirement. The caution sign indicates there is an issue with one or more compounds in the sample that needs to be reviewed. FIGURE 1.
