Agilent LC/MS Method for Analysis of Rodenticides Application Note

About this manual

The document details a developed Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (LC/MS) method designed to monitor several coumarin rodenticides, specifically coumafuryl and coumatetralyl, within complex biological matrices. The study compares different ionization techniques, including Electrospray Ionization (ESI) and Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Ionization (APCI), in both positive and negative modes.

Frequently asked questions

What rodenticides does this method monitor?

The developed LC/MS method is designed to monitor several coumarin rodenticides, specifically coumafuryl, coumatetralyl, and difenacoum.

What samples were used to test the method's performance?

The method was tested by analyzing spiked sausage extract and dog stomach extract containing the target compounds.

What is the flow rate for the chromatographic analysis?

The method uses a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min from 0 to 2 minutes, then increases to 0.5 mL/min.
