Untargeted screening of sulfonamides and their metabolites in salmon using liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole Orbitrap mass spectrometry

An analytical method for the non-target screening of sulfonamides and metabolites in salmon was developed, using automated on-line extraction procedure followed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization quadrupole Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UHPLC Q-Orbitrap), including three systematic workflows (i) fully non-targeted data acquisition with fragmentation, (ii) suspect library spectra...
