General Unknown Screening

While the presence of some adulterants is known or expected, others are not. There is also a need to screen for, detect and positively identify unknown contaminants in food for pet and human consumption. This is to both preserve the reputation of food producers and to ensure product safety.

Identify adulterants you didn't expect to find

The TripleTOF^TM 5600 System screens, quantifies and confirms the presence of known adulterants, and positively identifies unexpected or unknown contaminants, all in a single analysis. Powerful system software tools allow you to perform background subtraction, statistical comparisons, library searching and empirical formula calculation for the detection and identification of unknown compounds without any prior knowledge. You can also review samples post-analysis with retrospective data mining tools.

The TripleTOF^TM 5600 System positively identifies the presence of targeted and non-targeted food contaminants.

• Use high-resolution and accurate MS and MS/MS for targeted screening and quantitation.

• Identify compounds using accurate mass MS and empirical formula calculation or accurate mass MS/MS spectra and library searching.

• Mine data retrospectively for analytes not initially targeted.

• Use a selection of software tools to assist data processing and screening of general unknowns.
