California and Oregon Residual Pesticide Analysis using APCI with LC-MS/MS

Summary

California and Oregon both have lists of pesticides in cannabis to be analyzed.

APCI-LCMS optimization was completed for ten pesticides. The resulting APCI-LCMS MRM method was tested in cannabis flower extract on a Shimadzu LCMS-8060. The LOQ determined for each pesticide was below the regulatory action level (Table1).
