WEBINAR: Close your uncertainty gap with High Resolution Mass Spectrometry

Is your lab constantly challenged by case back log while trying to validate new methods to identify designer drugs? Your challenge is common to many forensic toxicology labs around the world.  To manage challenges, forensic labs deploy a variety of analytical tools, and techniques, such as immunoassay, GC-MS and LC-MS, to arrive at that conclusive result that will hold in the court of law.  This webinar will present a unique LC-MS solution which offers versatile analytical workflows to meet forensic laboratory requirements for screening, quantitation, unknown identification and bulk substance analysis all in one platform. The presented solution utilizes the Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ Focus quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer to collect highly specific data allowing confident identification and quantitation of compounds. Targeted and universal screening workflows with retrospective data analysis capabilities will be discussed along with confirmatory quantitative methods utilizing parallel reaction monitoring experiment (PRM). Examples of unknown structure identification of a real-case designer drug and bulk substance analysis with a DART source will also be presented.
