Abstract

Monitoring and controlling wide variety of pesticide residues is a crucial challenge of food safety. In our study ultra-performance convergent chromatography (UPC2), as the new generation of supercritical fluid chromatography coupled with ESI-MS/MS system was applied to separate a set of pesticides to investigate their chromatographic behavior under various UPC2 conditions. 30 components were selected representing the GC and LC measurable components. Capacity factors obtained from LC and GC runs UPC2-PDA were compared. Based on our data UPC2 should be considered as an alternative chromatographic approach with separation mechanisms not yet fully characterized. Interestingly the type of mobile phase modifier influences the ionization in an ESI-MS system.
