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 separation of three nonsteroidal anti-inflamatory drugs (NSAIDs) is performed on a Thermo Scientific Acclaim PolarAdvantage II (PA2) 5 µm column with a run time of less than 12 minutes.

The Thermo Scientific Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column is used for the isocratic separation of basic, neutral and acidic pharmaceuticals.The novel column chemistry of the Acclaim Mixed-Mode WAX-1 column provides a multi-mode separation mechanism that includes hydrophobic, anion-exchange and cation-exclusion interactions.
