Unlocking the Secrets of Complex Pesticide Residues: Advanced Techniques with Compound Discoverer Software

Are you looking to streamline your data analysis and enhance your compound discovery workflows? Join us as we discover how the National Food Institute of Denmark is using Thermo Scientific Compound Discoverer software to revolutionize their analysis process and uncover the latest advancements that are now available in this innovative solution.

 

In this session, you'll experience:

  • Real-World Application: Hear directly from Julio Espana, who will present his cutting-edge research on the occurrence of adjuvant residues from pesticide formulations on harvested crops. Learn how his team identified complex polymers using a non-targeted method and a customized Kendrick mass defect approach. See how tailored visualization tools were utilized to highlight charge states and homologous series of ethoxylated units, effectively identifying the "needle in the haystack."
  • Practical Takeaways: Whether you're new to the software or looking to optimize your current workflows, this webinar will provide actionable insights and tips that you can immediately apply to your own projects.
  • Exclusive Insight into New Features: Explore the newest updates to Compound Discoverer software, designed to make your analysis faster, smarter, and more efficient. Learn about enhanced capabilities that help accelerate data processing and streamline the interpretation of complex datasets.
  • Q&A Session: Get your questions answered by Julio and experts from Thermo Fisher Scientific.

For anyone involved in food safety, analytical chemistry, and pesticide residue analysis, this webinar is for you!

About the presenters

Ralf Tautenhahn
Manager, Product Applications, Thermo Fisher Scientific


Ralf Tautenhahn earned his Ph.D. in Bioinformatics (2009) at the Martin-Luther University while working in the metabolomics group led by Steffen Neumann at the Institute for Plant Biochemistry in Halle, Germany. He later joined Gary Siuzdak’s group at The Scripps Research Institute and continued his work to develop algorithms and software for LC/MS data processing and interpretation. In 2013, Ralf joined Thermo Fisher Scientific as a platform manager for metabolomics software. Over the last 10 years he has overseen the development of the company's Compound Discoverer software for small molecule research.

Julio César Espana Amórtegui
Postdoctoral Researcher, National Food Institute at the Danish Technical University

Julio Espana is a postdoctoral researcher in the analytical food chemistry group at the National Food Institute at the Danish Technical University. His work focuses on improving results from official control laboratories and developing innovative analytical methods using liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). Julio earned his Ph.D. in chemistry from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia and has extensive experience in pesticide residues, veterinary drugs, and marine biotoxins. He has contributed significantly to the field, including his work at the EU Reference Laboratories for Pesticides and the Swedish Food Agency.
