Smart database series simplifies GC-MS/MS method development


Manually configuring measurement settings for multicomponent batch analysis takes valuable time and effort. The GCMS Smart Database Series enables automated creation of fully optimized multiple reaction monitoring methods (MRM) with the push of a button. The series is comprised of separate databases for analyzing pesticides, forensic toxicological substances, metabolites and environmental pollutants. Each database includes hundreds of related compounds with optimized transitions and collision energies, CAS registry numbers and retention indices (RI). The software series supports simultaneous high-sensitivity analysis of samples using GC-MS/MS, eliminating the need to configure complicated analysis conditions.

As part of the series, the Smart Metabolites Database supports GC-MS/MS analysis of metabolomics and is particularly suited for analyzing metabolites in biological samples. The database contains MRM transitions for 475 metabolites commonly found in samples such as blood, urine and cellular material.

The Smart Pesticides Database is designed for analyzing residual pesticides in complex matrices. The database is registered with 477 components and 2,675 MRM transitions.

The Smart Forensic Database is registered with a total of 201 forensic toxicological substances and includes 1,200 MRM transitions. Categories of compounds include drugs of abuse, psychopathic drugs, general drugs, pesticides and rodenticides.

The Smart Environmental Database features 362 native compounds and 148 isotopically labeled compounds to support the analysis of environmental pollutants. Ideal applications for this database include analysis of organic compounds such as brominated flame retardants, PCBs, PAHs, PCDD/PCDF, and organochlorine pesticides in sediment, water, foodstuff and animal feed.
