A Method Used to Screen for 567 Pesticides and Suspected Endocrine Disrupters
Agilent Technologies presents a universal gas chromatographic (GC) method designed to screen for 567 pesticides, metabolites, and suspected endocrine disrupters. The method relies on a technique called retention time locking (RTL), which allows chromatographers to reproduce analyte retention times independently of the GC system, column length, or detector used. By locking retention times, raw retention times become a reliable indicator of compound identity, simplifying the screening process.
