High‐resolution mass spectrometry for bioanalytical applications: Is this the new gold standard?
Anton Kaufmann
Abstract
is currently employed at the official food control authority of the Kanton of Zurich in Switzerland and is responsible for a group that focuses on veterinary drug residue analysis.He has some 30 years experience in food analysis.These involved instrumental analysis of wine including the application of chemometric techniques to elucidate the geographical origin of wine.The current activity focuses on multiresidue methods for veterinary drugs in animal tissues.This includes state of the art technology like Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography and High Resolution mass spectrometry (TOF and Orbitrap) as well as Ion Mobility.Besides the development of new analytical methods, technical aspects related to LC-MS (signal suppression, ionization phenomena, structural elucidation by HRMS and alternative method validation approaches) were investigated.Mr.
