Detection of Pesticides Using HPLC with Circular Dichroism, UV, and Fluorescence Detection.

Focuses on the development of automatic mass spectral deconvolution and identification software developed by the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology to detect chemicals in violation of the Chemical Weapons Convention. Use of the software to identify target pesticides; Difficulty of identifying target compounds because of the effect of matrix on the ion ratios of the target compounds; Advantages of deconvolution
