Comprehensive drugs of abuse testing solutions
The scope of forensic toxicology testing has evolved drastically over the past few decades. The prevalence of illicit drug consumption combined with the emergence of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) on the recreational drug market has increased the complexity of drug testing and created constantly evolving challenges for forensic toxicologists. Whether your laboratory focuses on controlled substances testing, screening and confirmation or advanced forensic research such as unknown substance characterization and identification, you need comprehensive solutions to keep up with your casework and report your results with the highest level of confidence.
SCIEX provides innovative LC-MS/MS solutions tailored to your toxicology laboratory operations. From accurate quantitation of known drugs and metabolites to confident screening, characterization and identification of unknown substances, our robust instrumentation portfolio provides the sensitivity, specificity and selectivity required for your most challenging workflows. Learn more about SCIEX solutions that can help you meet your current and future lab needs with end-to-end mass spectrometry-based workflows for each of the following forensic toxicology applications.
Targeted and non-targeted drug screening using accurate mass
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 provides fast, sensitive solutions to address your screen-to-confirmation workflows and streamline your laboratory caseloads.
Targeted quantitative drug testing
The ability to accurately quantify large panels of drugs and metabolites in complex biological matrices is critical for many drug confirmation workflows. SCIEX offers a wide portfolio of triple quadrupole systems capable of delivering the required levels of selectivity and sensitivity to meet your specific lab requirements and budget.
Novel psychoactive substances (NPS) analysis
SCIEX developed workflows for NPS analysis leverage the power of LC-MS/MS to reliably characterize, identify and quantify these substances. Our extended portfolio of products and solutions provides the speed, sensitivity and confidence forensic laboratories require when detecting NPS in a variety of complex biological matrices.
ZenoTOF 7600 system
The ZenoTOF 7600 system provides unique features that enhance MS/MS capabilities. It combines the power of the Zeno trap for improved MS/MS sensitivity with an alternative fragmentation technology—electron activated dissociation (EAD)—that provides unique fragments for drug and metabolite characterization.
X500R QTOF system
The X500R QTOF system is the most versatile and easy-to-use accurate mass instrument for routine drug screening. The system can be used for high-specificity, targeted quantitation and non-targeted screening from single sample sets in a high-throughput laboratory environment.
SCIEX OS software
SCIEX OS software is the all-in-one software solution for forensic toxicology screening that lets you acquire, process, analyze data and even generate reports in the same software environment. It enables streamlined data processing of challenging forensic data sets with integrated tools to increase confidence in your results.
Forensic HR-MS/MS spectral library 2.1
Confirm identification of commonly tested drugs and metabolites using the Forensic HR-MS/MS spectral library. With over 1,740 forensic drugs and metabolites commonly tested in forensic samples, this high-resolution library enables fast processing of targeted and non-targeted screening data for accurate compound identification from complex biological samples.
Homeland security
Detecting trace levels of seized drugs, chemical warfare agents, explosives or illicit materials requires high throughput and sensitive instrumentation. SCIEX has an extensive portfolio of LC-MS/MS systems that provides the evidence required by the forensic and security communities.
Cannabis and hemp potency testing
The diversity of cannabis and hemp products makes it hard to perform potency testing accurately. SCIEX provides sensitive, precise instrumentation capable of differentiating legalized hemp products from controlled cannabis. Forensic labs, where such use is permitted under local state or country law, can now test with the highest confidence.
Doping control
Uncover the truth hidden in doping samples by leveraging SCIEX solutions to confidently detect, identify and quantify trace levels of prohibited substances in biological specimens. Our robust suite of instruments provides the sensitivity, specificity and selectivity required to deliver confident results and keep competition fair.
