Protecting the food chain: Advanced HRMS strategies for contaminants in water and soil
Watch this webinar with Lorena Manzano Sánchez to learn how key HRMS technology helps QA/QC professionals, regulators, and environmental scientists detect pharmaceuticals and pesticides in crops before they threaten food safety and compliance.
Why should you attend:
As water scarcity drives the use of reclaimed water for irrigation, new contamination risks are emerging. Conventional testing often fails to detect low-level pharmaceutical and pesticide residues that can accumulate in soils and edible crops.
In this webinar, discover how ZenoTOF™ high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) enables laboratories to confidently identify and quantify trace contaminants, helping you ensure accurate results, safer food, and regulatory peace of mind.
Real-world greenhouse case studies will illustrate how pharmaceuticals and pesticides can move from reclaimed water into soils and edible crops. You’ll see practical examples of contaminant transfer under actual irrigation conditions, followed by actionable insights on integrating cutting-edge HRMS into your monitoring programmes, helping you safeguard both agricultural productivity and public health.
You will learn:
- How pharmaceuticals and pesticides move from reclaimed water into soils and edible crops
- How HRMS with ZenoTOF delivers the sensitivity and selectivity needed for low-level detection
- Insights from real-world greenhouse studies showing contaminant transfer in action
- Practical steps to integrate HRMS into routine QA/QC and regulatory monitoring programmes
- Identify key challenges and opportunities for safe wastewater reuse in agriculture and food safety monitoring.
Who should attend:
This session is designed for professionals involved in food safety, environmental monitoring, and agricultural testing, including:
- Food safety and QA/QC managers ensuring compliance with contaminant limits and residue regulations
- Regulatory scientists and compliance officers overseeing chemical monitoring and public health standards
- Analytical chemists and laboratory managers responsible for developing or validating testing methods
- Environmental and agricultural researchers investigating contaminant fate and transfer in soils and crops
- Water quality and sustainability specialists working with reclaimed or irrigation water reuse programmes
- Public health professionals and risk assessors evaluating exposure pathways and mitigation strategies
Whether you work in a food testing lab, regulatory agency, research institution, or environmental programme, you’ll gain actionable insights to strengthen contaminant monitoring and protect the food supply chain.
