Columbia Pesticide Profile

P2200 Columbia Pesticide Profile
The Columbia Pesticide Profile is our most cost-effective, comprehensive screen for food and vegetation. It detects approximately 240 triazine, pyrethroid, organochlorine, organonitrogen and organophosphorous type pesticides. We have successfully applied the Columbia Profile to a wide variety of food and vegetation samples. Rarely, difficult to analyze matrices may be encountered in which it is not possible to determine a few of the compounds, and/or, the detection limit may be increased. Typically, this might occur in the case of low moisture (high solids) commodities which contain many natural sulfur or nitrogen compounds. In any case, a Method Detection Limit (MDL) list is issued with each lab report showing which pesticides are included in the analysis and their respective detection limits. Due to the large number of pesticides in this profile, the list is available below in PDF format. This list is current as of January 2011, however, we expect to add additional pesticides to the profile occasionally. The MDL's will also be decreasing as the GC/MS/MS is more fully utilized. The Columbia Pesticide Profile is designed for food or vegetation samples only. We also have large multi-residue profiles available for soil (P2205) and water (P2206). Please call us for more information, if interested.

P2210 Columbia Pesticide Profile X (Expanded)  [New!]
As of January 2011 an expanded Columbia Pesticide Profile is available. Initially, it includes approximately 285 compounds, however, we expect this number to grow as we continue to take full advantage of our HPLC time-of-flight MS. The carbamate pesticides (profile P2950) are included within the expanded profile, along with a number of other pesticides that have historically been analyzed separately.
