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.

Pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) and endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) detected in surface and drinking waters, as well as in treated wastewater. They are an issue of increasing international attention due to potential environmental impacts. We developed an analytical method capable of determining PPCPs and their by-products in wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) samples. This workflow was applied in a survey of 35 permeate samples obtained from a pilot anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR).

The Thermo Scientific GC system is applied for the analysis of phencyclidine from urine. The samples are prepared using Thermo Scientific HyperSep Servo+ PCP SPE cartridges, and the separation is performed on a Thermo Scientific TraceGOLD TG-5MS column, with MS detection. For Research Use Only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.

The Thermo Scientific Acclaim 120 C18 column is applied for an assay for pramoxine in topical anesthetic ointment. SPE clean-up is performed using Thermo Scientific Dionex OnGuard II RP cartridge.

The Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column is used for the separation of ingredients in a toothache pain-reliever, with UV detection at 210 nm.
