39th Annual meeting | August 23 - 28 | San Diego, California
Ensure food safety with Thermo Fisher Scientific's advanced analytical instrumentation in combination with new, out-of-the box innovative workflows to protect public health and meet regulatory standards. Our comprehensive workflow solutions allow you to cover more compounds and pesticide-matrix combinations in a single analysis. Seamlessly process results from both GC- and LC-MS/MS in one software for quick cross-confirmation, higher confidence, and fewer re-injections.
Key benefits include:
- Easy implementation with built-in report templates and pre-set data views.
- Cost-effective LC-high resolution Orbitrap mass detector for analyzing over 600 pesticides.
- Compliance with regulatory guidelines without the need for complex method development.

Overcoming trace residue analytical challenges faced by today’s food and beverage testing laboratories
Monday, August 25, 2025 | 7 – 8 a.m. PDT | Town and Country Resort - Pacific E
Pesticide residues and PFAS analysis in complex matrices can be a daunting task for labs as regulations continually add more target analytes and require lower limits of detection. Analysts need workflows that are easy-to-use, out-of-the-box, and can meet future needs as the testing landscape evolves. To meet these challenges, we describe new workflows that:
- Utilize a novel, high-throughput, automation-ready sample preparation technique with high enrichment factors applicable to several matrices
- Leverage LC-HRMS to add improved specificity in cost-effective quantitative analysis
- Employ an automated micro-SPE approach for superior sample clean-up

Featured products
Vanquish Duo HPLC & UHPLC Systems
Double your throughput or deepen your sample knowledge using the Thermo Scientific Vanquish Duo UHPLC Systems, featuring a dual split sampler and two pumps, either as separate modules or combined in the dual pump. The Vanquish Duo UHPLC system has the same footprint as a single instrument, but contains two flow paths allowing you to run the same method on both flow paths or run two different methods simultaneously on the same instrument, improving your lab productivity, sample knowledge, and overall return on investment.
Orbitrap Exploris 120 Mass Spectrometer
The Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris 120 MS enables users to better resolve an ion of interest from an interfering ion in their sample with its market-leading resolution. Integration to a solid set of data analysis tools (e.g., Thermo Scientific mzCloud, mzVault, mzLogic) makes it faster and easier for our customers to identify unknown compounds. For laboratories working in complex sample matrices with notable interferences, more accurate quantitation can be performed with the Orbitrap Exploris 120 MS using the superior mass accuracy of Thermo Scientific Orbitrap technology. Thus, this capability also enables users to save time optimizing their LC conditions.
Orbitrap Exploris GC Mass Spectrometer
Simplify operations and deliver consistently accurate results in analytical testing using the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap Exploris GC Mass Spectrometer. This GC-MS system offers a unique depth of analysis and unparalleled accuracy and precision to improve everyday quantitation, screening and sample profiling. It provides the flexibility to keep pace with ever-changing regulations and explore new analytical opportunities through increased scope and method consolidation. Simple instrument set up and intelligent informatics enable users of all abilities to easily access data-rich information.
Dionex Inuvion IC System
Welcome to the evolution of everyday IC reliability. The new Thermo Scientific Dionex Inuvion ion chromatography system makes ion analysis simpler and more intuitive than ever before. And it delivers exactly what a busy analytical testing lab is looking for: consistently excellent results—every shift, every day, for every operator.
Cindion Combustion Ion Chromatography (CIC) System
Explore even more sample types and spark new insights with the Thermo Scientific Cindion Combustion Ion Chromatography (C-IC) System. This fully-integrated C-IC system can be used to screen for potentially corrosive and toxic halogens and sulfur, helping you ensure high-quality standards to safeguard products and the environment. Whether you are analyzing solid, liquid, or gas samples, experience automated workflows with robust performance and dependable reliability from a single-source system.
PCR
Real-time PCR, also known as quantitative PCR (qPCR), is the gold-standard for sensitive, specific detection and quantification of nucleic acid targets. We developed powerful assay design algorithms, optimized master mixes, created intuitive data analysis software, and built smart instrumentation to help harness the power of real-time PCR across a rich and diverse set of applications. However, our solutions go a step further: every product has been designed with efficiency baked in. And together they work synergistically to bring you a simpler, more flexible, and highly efficient real-time PCR workflow.
