Targeted and non-targeted drug screening

Targeted and non-targeted drug screening using accurate mass

When it comes to toxicology screening applications, your forensic laboratory needs robust and flexible solutions to tackle your most challenging workflows. Whether you are performing broad screening to identify substances present in a biological sample or targeting a specific panel of drugs and metabolites for quantitative analysis, SCIEX offers fast, sensitive and streamlined solutions to address your screen-to-confirmation workflows and streamline your laboratory caseloads. Our accurate mass LC-MS/MS instrument portfolio provides best-in-class solutions that meet your toxicology laboratory requirements for screening, quantitation, identification, and confirmation.

Our systems can perform sensitive and fast MS and MS/MS scanning experiments to screen for every detectable component in the sample with high levels of selectivity and sensitivity. The untargeted nature of the data also provides the ability to perform retrospective data analysis should new questions or compounds arise in the future. Targeted experiments are also amenable to our accurate mass LC-MS/MS platforms for selective and sensitive quantitation of known compounds. The combination of our accurate mass systems and SCIEX OS software provide a reliable, comprehensive, and streamlined solution to address your most challenging forensic toxicology workflows.

Solving challenging drug screening workflows

Our screen-to-confirmation workflows are designed to bring the power and versatility of accurate mass to address caseloads associated with controlled substance testing in criminal or postmortem investigations while optimizing instrument uptime and improving your overall lab efficiency.
