Advances in instrumental residue analysis

Dr. Hans Mol

Senior scientist at RIKILT-Institute of Food Safety, Wageningen, The Netherlands

He studied analytical chemistry at the Free University in Amsterdam and did his PhD in analytical chemistry at the Technical University of Eindhoven. He has been active in food safety analysis for almost 20 years, first at TNO (Dutch Organisation for Applied Scientific Research) and then at RIKILT. His current research interest are generic non-targeted analysis of residues and contaminants based on chromatography with mass spectrometry, and on rapid MS-based screening methods. In terms of applications, his main areas of interest are pesticides and natural toxins. He is heading the National Reference Laboratory of pesticides and mycotoxins and is active in EU-working groups on analytical quality control in those fields.
