TSQ8000 QuEChERS/Pesticides

[Or Not]

Is anyone here successfully using a Thermo TSQ8000 to analyze QuEChERS extracts for pesticides? If so, would you be willing to share details of how you've made this work? We have been using a SRM method on Agilent 7000s for some years, and they are working reasonably well, but we've had a lot of trouble with the TSQ8000 and are still unable to get good results.

Thanks!

Please contact the local Thermo office.. The TSQ8000 is very capable and should not be causing issues running this type of analysis! If you cannot find the correct place to ask please let me know your region and I will attempt to find someone you can assist you.

What sort of problems have you had? Low LODs/robustness/RSD%?

We have been working with some applications people from Thermo since the spring and the issue is not resolved yet. We would really like to communicate with other food safety labs that are using this equipment - surely we're not the only lab trying to use this instrument for these kind of samples. The issue has been inconsistent/low response.
