WEBINÁŘ - Meeting the New European Commission Regulations for Dioxin Detection and Confirmation Using GC-MS/MS

Odkaz k registraci: webinar

The detection and confirmation of dioxins, requires a high level of analytical performance. Until recently, the European Commission (EC) required the confirmation and quantification of dioxins by GC-HRMS, but recent technological advances in GC-MS/MS technology have enabled GC-MS/MS systems, like the Thermo Scientific TSQ 8000 Evo, to achieve the required sensitivity and selectivity for dioxin analysis. As a result, GC-MS/MS is now permitted for use in the EU as a full confirmatory method to control the maximum levels for dioxins in food and feed.

Please join Dr. Esteban Abad Holgado, Head of the Laboratory of Dioxins at the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research in Barcelona and Dr. Cristian Cojocariu, Senior Applications Specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, for this live webcast presenting the results of experiments, which:

  • evaluate the performance of the TSQ 8000 Evo for the analysis of dioxins in food and feed samples in line with the new EC regulations for dioxin confirmation.
  • validate the use of the TSQ 8000 Evo for dioxin confirmation, including instrument sensitivity, linearity, LOQs, and precision of measurements.
  • compare the results obtained from analysis of food and feed sample extracts using the TSQ 8000 Evo to those obtained using GC-HRMS.
