What We Test with LC-MS/MS

Six confirmed LC-MS/MS application areas across food, pharmaceutical, environmental, herbal, and clinical research samples.

Pesticide Multi-Residue Analysis (250+ Parameters)

Pesticide multi-residue screening of 250+ parameters in food and agri matrices per FSSAI MRL and EU MRL limits. MRM transitions optimised for fruits, vegetables, spices, cereals, and processed foods.

Veterinary Drug Residues

Veterinary drug residue testing in food per FSSAI residue limits — antibiotics, hormones, anti-parasitics, and growth promoters in meat, milk, fish, and animal-origin products.

Mycotoxins (Aflatoxins, OTA, Fumonisin, ZON)

Multi-mycotoxin analysis in food and herbal matrices per FSSAI and EU limits — aflatoxins (B1, B2, G1, G2), ochratoxin A, fumonisins, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone in a single LC-MS/MS run.

Nitrosamines (NDMA, NDEA, NMBA) — ICH M7

Nitrosamine impurity testing in pharmaceuticals per the ICH M7 genotoxic impurity framework. NDMA (AI 18 ng/day), NDEA (AI 26.5 ng/day), NMBA (AI 1.5 ng/day), and product-specific nitrosamines from risk assessments.

PAH Analysis — EC 1881/2006

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) analysis in food and environmental samples per European Commission Regulation (EC) No 1881/2006 — benzo[a]pyrene and the PAH4 sum in smoked, grilled, and processed foods.

Bioanalytical PK/PD Studies (CRO)

Bioanalytical method development, validation, and sample analysis for clinical PK/PD and BA/BE studies under GLP. Project-specific TAT, ICH M10 validation framework, CDSCO-aligned bioanalytical reports.

Regulatory scope note: ICH M7 (nitrosamines and genotoxic impurities) and the CDSCO 2 ppm benzene limit (residual solvent per ICH Q3C / USP 467) are distinct regulatory frameworks with different scope. Nitrosamine work falls under LC-MS/MS; residual solvent benzene per CDSCO is GC-MS scope — see GC-MS for benzene and Class 1/2/3 residual solvent quantitation.

Instrument Specifications

9 LC-MS/MS units across the Delhi, Bangalore, and Manesar labs. Agilent US952 confirmed in the fleet; triple quadrupole MRM mode the default for targeted high-sensitivity analysis.

9 LC-MS/MS Units Across 3 Labs

9 LC-MS/MS units distributed across the Auriga lab network supporting parallel high-throughput targeted MRM workflows for food, pharma, and bioanalytical projects.

Delhi (3 Units)

Three LC-MS/MS units at the Delhi flagship lab supporting nitrosamine work per ICH M7, food residue testing, and pharmaceutical impurity workflows.

Bangalore (3 Units)

Three LC-MS/MS units at the Bangalore facility serving food pesticide multi-residue (250+ parameters), veterinary drug residues, and mycotoxin analysis.

Manesar (1 Unit)

One LC-MS/MS unit at the Manesar (Plot 136, Sector 5, IMT Manesar) DCGI-approved facility supporting CRD bioanalytical, PK/PD, and ICH M7 nitrosamine workflows. Remaining 2 of 9 units location to be confirmed with lab team before publishing.

Agilent US952 — Confirmed Model

Agilent US952 triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS confirmed in the platform fleet. Additional makes and models across the 9-unit fleet to be confirmed with the lab team before publishing.

Triple Quadrupole MRM Mode

Triple quadrupole tandem MS in Multiple Reaction Monitoring (MRM) mode for high-sensitivity targeted analysis. MRM provides parent-to-product ion selectivity for trace quantitation at ppb and ppt concentrations.
