Multiresidue Pesticides Analysis of Vegetables in Vietnam by Ultrahigh-Performance Liquid Chromatography in Combination with High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (UPLC-Orbitrap MS)

Table 5

Analytical figures of merit of the LC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS method for three representative pesticides.

No	Analytes	tR (min)	LOD (ng·mL^−1)	LOQ (ng·mL^−1)	MDL (pg)	MQL (pg)
1	Carbofuran	8.03	0.09	0.30	0.5	1.5
2	Azoxystrobin	13.48	0.02	0.07	0.1	0.3
3	Pyridaben	19.54	0.09	0.30	0.5	1.5

Absolute method of detection (MDL) and method of quantitation (MQL) are defined as the absolute amount of analyte injected into the LC column.
