The Thermo Scientific™ Vanquish™ Horizon UHPLC coupled with the Thermo Scientific™ TSQ Quantis™ Plus mass spectrometer is used for the separation and detection of drugs of abuse in urine matrix. The SPE extraction uses Thermo Scientific™ SOLAμ™ SCX SPE plates for minimal sample and solvent volumes. Using a Thermo Scientific™ Accucore™ C18+ column with a total run time of 7 minutes, all isomers were separated including codeine / hydrocodone, and hydromorphone / morphine / norhydrocodone. The method includes 106 of the most tested drugs of abuse for easy adaption to customer labs.

HPLC-MS/MS separation for the tobacco alkaloids nicotine, nornicotine, cotinine, norcotinine, trans-3’-hydroxycotinine, and anabasine.
Forensic toxicologists face an ever-expanding list of compounds for analysis. This note presents work done using a next-generation triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with fast SRM acquisition speed for quantitation of 122 analytes in a single chromatographic run, where scan speed does not impact sensitivity or quantitative performance. Compounds analyzed include opiates, opioids, benzodiazepines, barbiturates, amphetamines, tricyclic antidepressants, illicit compounds, and more. For forensic use only.
There is growing environmental concern regarding the health impact of trace levels of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in water resources. In response, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) published Method 1694, which determines dozens of PPCPs in water, soil, sediment, and biosolids by HPLC-MS/MS. We demonstrate a progressive approach to analyzing PPCPs in environmental sources of water at the ng/L level with online sample preparation using small volumes of water, thus saving time and reducing the cost of analysis.
