Expert insights

Owing to highly advanced separation techniques, the field of analytical toxicology has seen major improvements over the last decade. Whilst highly sensitive technologies have enabled the detection of ultra-trace level elements, modern platforms now also enable multiplex analyte detection in complex toxicological matrices.

In this educational webinar we will discuss how to develop methods when working with alternative samples, such as oral fluid and hair, that require extensive sample pre-treatment and preparation to be analyzed by LC. Oral fluid is a frequently used matrix for drug testing due to its non-invasive nature of collection. Hair is also a popular testing matrix since metabolites become entrapped for several months, thus offering greater detection abilities.

Register for this webinar to learn about techniques to extract analytes from diverse types of hair, as well as how to create a quality control material for drug positive hair. In addition, discover the proper clean-up techniques for buffers from oral fluid collection devices using solid phase extractionm, with sensitive and reliable LC-MS/MS results.

Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.

Such drugs can have mind-altering effects, with some causing dependence and addiction.Drug TestingIt is essential to test the efficacy and toxicity of drugs at every stage of their development to ensure that a pharmaceutical product is fit for purpose and safe for use before reaching the stage of mass production and distribution.Forensic ToxicologyForensic toxicology is used to determine cause of death, drug use and contaminations. Toxicological evaluations are commonly used in analytical chemistry, clinical, life sciences and forensics.
