To set up your instrument method for pesticide analysis:

instrument method.
3. Open the SRM Transitions.xls file in Microsoft Excel and customize it as follows:
a. Delete the compounds you do not need.
b. Add the start and stop times based on the retention times from the full scan run.
c. Delete the header from the file.
4. Save the file in .csv format.
5. Open Xcalibur and click the Instrument Setup icon.
6. Click the TSQ Quantum icon in the left pane.
7. Select TSQ | EZ Method from the main menu and click the Import List button.
8. Browse to the .csv file on your computer and select it.
