Unlocking the Secrets of Complex Pesticide Residues: Advanced Techniques with Compound Discoverer Software

This webinar, presented by Dr. Ralf Tautenhahn and Julio César Espana Amórtegui, explores advanced techniques for analyzing complex pesticide residues using Thermo Scientific™ Compound Discoverer™ software. Discover how the National Food Institute of Denmark is revolutionizing their analysis process through cutting-edge research on adjuvant residues from pesticide formulations on harvested crops. Learn about the identification of complex polymers using non-targeted methods and customized Kendrick mass defect approaches, with special focus on visualization tools that highlight charge states and homologous series of ethoxylated units. Gain practical insights applicable to food safety, analytical chemistry, and pesticide residue analysis workflows, including the latest software updates designed to accelerate data processing and streamline interpretation of complex datasets. The one-hour session features Dr. Tautenhahn, who oversees Compound Discoverer software development at Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Julio Espana, a postdoctoral researcher specializing in innovative analytical methods using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) at the Danish Technical University.
