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.

Forensic toxicologists need an economical solution to screen for a virtually unlimited number of compounds in urine. Here we present a method for screening using a dilute-and-shoot approach with the Q Exactive Focus mass spectrometer and Thermo Scientific ToxFinder software. For forensic use only.
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.
The Thermo Scientific HPLC system is applied for the analysis of basic drugs. The separation is performed on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim 120 C18 column, with UV detection at 220 nm. This application is used as a routine lot qualification test for the Acclaim 120 C18 column stationary phase. Low silanol activity preserves the good peak shape for amitriptyline as the sample concentration decreases (amitriptyline mass for trace A is 1200 ng, for trace B is 400 ng, and for trace C 94 ng).
