I am an engineer/chemist who is in charge of analytics for an analytical company in CA. We have an old 5890 series 2 w/ an FID sitting in a facility here, and I was wondering if there is a possibility to use it for pesticide detection in oils of botanical extracts?
I am not too familiar with the limitations of this machine.
We are planning to use it for cannabis testing purposes. Thc and CBD, along with residual solvent analysis. I do not know if it can analyze and detect the pesticides we are currently working with in these samples.
Myclobutanil, Bifenezate, Imidacloprid, and Spiromesifen are just some of the pesticides I encounter, and need to make sure are not in the test samples.
Usually a LC-MS is used to check for these pesticides, but we don't have one on site currently. I was wondering if I would even be able to detect these pesticides in the samples using this HPGC or not...?
Thanks in advance!
