Smart Pesticides Database

Supports the Simultaneous Analysis of Pesticides using GC-MS/MS

This database is registered with approximately 480 components and approximately 2,680 transitions, and eliminates the need to configure complicated analysis conditions.
Furthermore, retention indices are registered for all the components, enabling easy updating of retention times via the AART (Automatic Adjustment of Retention Time) function.
Analysis by the internal standard method is also supported, since information is registered for compounds that can be used as internal standard substances.

Create Optimal MRM Methods Automatically

The Smart MRM program creates MRM methods automatically. In multicomponent batch analysis, it is difficult to configure the measurement program settings. Smart MRM, however, allows the system to set the optimal program and create a high-sensitivity method.
The MRM method is created based on the retention time information for the target compounds. By utilizing the AART function, you can correct the retention times and proceed with method creation from just a single n-alkane analysis.

Easy to Customize

The database can be used to perform analysis not only under the conditions specified in the database, but also under different column and GC conditions by simply editing the retention indices.
In addition, new compounds can be added by using the GCMSsolution MRM Optimization Tool.

• AART method file
• Database file

The AART method file is registered with analysis conditions suited to the registered compounds. This allows you to start measurements without having to set analysis conditions and data analysis parameters.
The database file is registered with information on up to six transitions per component. In addition, retention indices are registered for all registered compounds, making it possible to create MRM methods from retention times corrected using the AART function.*

* The retention indices registered in the database are calculated using the analysis conditions registered in the AART method file. If you are using the registered retention indices, use the column indicated below, under identical conditions.

Column: SH-Rxi®-5Sil MS, 30 m x 0.25 mm I.D., df = 0.25 μm,
