Agilent 6530 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF LC/MS System with Agilent 1290 Infinity LC for Multi Plant Growth Regulator Analysis from Grapes handbook
This document presents a sensitive and effective method for screening 12 Plant Growth Regulators (PGRs) in grape samples using the Agilent 6530 Accurate-Mass Q-TOF LC/MS system coupled with the Agilent 1290 Infinity UHPLC. The method utilizes a simple, inexpensive dispersive C18 sample cleanup technique to remove background matrix, enabling the detection of multiclass PGRs with outstanding mass accuracy (less than 1 ppm for 50 ppb and 100 ppb concentrations).
The analysis involves liquid phase extraction followed by dispersive C18 cleanup, internal standard spiking, UHPLC gradient separation, and detection via Jetstream ESI-LC/MS/MS. The document details specific chromatographic conditions, mass spectrometer settings, and results for both positive and negative ion modes, demonstrating the system's capability to identify compounds using accurate mass and structural elucidation via MS/MS.
