Pesticides are chemicals used on crops to protect them from the negative activity of pests. As inappropriate application of a pesticide can result in serious health issues, determination of pesticide residues in foods and food products is an important part of routine food control. The European Union (EU) legislation (European Regulation 396/2005 and Commission Directive 2006/125/EC), currently the strictest regulations, sets maximum residue limits of pesticides in various products of plant and animal origin. These regulations present significant analytical challenges due to the low limits of quantitation (LOQ) required in certain food matrices.

This application note describes a multi-residue LC-MS/MS method utilizing the TSQ Quantis triple quadrupole MS-based Pesticide Explorer Collection Standard Quantitation solution, for quantitation of more than 250 pesticides in leek at or below respective MRLs.
