 An instrument with only one quadrupole , such as the LCMS-2020 is referred to as a

single quadrupole mass spectrometer. “Triple quadrupole” indicates that three
quadrupole are connected in series. The major constituent parts, staring from the
ionization probe, are Q1, q2 and Q3
 Q1 selects the precusors ions, q2 at the centre is the collision cell that fragments the
ions, and Q3 select the produst ions. Since Q1 and Q3 are connected in series, they
are also called tandem quadrupoles.
 Both Q1 and Q3 are comprised of four rods, DC and RF voltages are applied to these
rods which provide a stable pathway for specificm/z values only, such that they pass

Cannabis Analysis by HPLC Cannabis Analysis by HPLC

shows chromatograms of extracts from a THC-rich and CBD-rich flower samples overlaid
with a 10 mg/L standard mixture.
Cannabis analysis has gained new importance in
the USA in light of the legalization of marijuana in
several states. Cannabis contains a number of
chemical alkaloids known as cannabinoids.
Primary cannabinoids of interest to most
laboratories are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabinol (CBN). In
extracts from the plant, THC and CBD exist as the
native acid forms, tetrahydro-cannabinolic acid
(THCA) and cannabinolic acid (CBDA). These
gradually decarboxylate to THC and CBD through
exposure to heat and light.

Food-safety Market Background and Trends

Application of HPLC Background

• Food regulation is becoming strict, for food safety consumption
• There is a elevating demand on the mycotoxin test in food inspection department

Global
• Food safety testing market was 10.5 billion USD in 2014 and is expected to be 13.6 billion USD in 2019
(Growth rate is 5.3%)

Fast Screening Regulated Mycotoxins

• It is required the quickness for the imported foods inspection for import/export
• Demand for analyzing mycotoxins by 1 method

High accuracy than conventional method

• Conventional screening method (ELISA) has high risk of false positive
• Target compounds are identified in high accuracy in short time frame
