Application note: 60-second screening of foods using the Agilent QuickProbe GC/MS system

The Agilent QuickProbe, a direct insertion sampling device for GC/MS, was evaluated for the screening of nonextracted food samples.

The Agilent QuickProbe, a direct insertion sampling device for GC/MS, was evaluated for the screening of nonextracted food samples. Foods analysis benefits from fast screening because it quickly identifies samples that are suspect and require further investigation. Typical GC/MS screening of foods and botanicals requires sample preparation such as QuEChERS or other liquid extraction methods. Using the QuickProbe system enables a simple and fast screening analysis that requires no sample preparation.
