ResChem, a Smithers company, has added a Sciex™ QTRAP™ 6500+ LC-MS/MS at our Derby, United Kingdom laboratory. This advanced system is also installed at our Harrogate, United Kingdom, and Wareham, Massachusetts facilities, supporting independent laboratory validations (ILVs) and transfer of methods across sites more readily. The addition offers significant advantages for residue chemistry studies, enabling analysis of a wide variety of chemical compounds with exceptional sensitivity and precision.
 
The QTRAP 6500+, combined with our team’s expertise, delivers exceptional results in residue chemistry applications that require both high sensitivity and high throughput. Its ability to handle a wide variety of analytes and matrices makes it an ideal tool for complex residue chemistry analysis.

Key benefits for residue chemistry studies:

Superior sensitivity for low-level quantification: The QTRAP 6500+ provides the best limit of quantification (LOQ), allowing detection of trace-level residues even in complex, challenging matrices. This ensures that even the smallest quantities can be reliably measured, critical for residue chemistry applications that demand ultra-low-level analysis.

Higher throughput with minimal sample handling streamlines workflows and maximizes output for large batches of samples without sacrificing data quality or precision, resulting in faster data for better decision making. Higher sensitivity enables detection of low concentration samples, helping our clients to meet their goals of reducing the level of chemicals in the environment. 

At Smithers, our commitment to scientific excellence and continuous investment in advanced technologies ensures we remain at the forefront of residue chemistry research. With our team’s expertise in operating advanced instrumentation, we are able to offer industry-leading services in chemistry, environmental fate, and metabolism testing to achieve accurate data, on time.
