High Resolution Accurate Mass Library for Forensic Toxicology
Perform forensic toxicology screening for drugs of abuse, psychotropic drugs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and natural toxins using this high-resolution accurate mass database.
MS/MS Spectra for over 900 Toxicological Substances
The High Resolution Accurate Mass (HRAM) Library includes two MS/MS spectral libraries. Each library is built using two different separation conditions and is suitable for targeted or non-targeted screening of drugs of abuse, psychotropic drugs, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and other compounds of toxicological interest.
Library Contents
Library 1 includes 81 MS/MS spectra and ODS method retention times for various illegal drugs and pharmaceuticals commonly of interest to forensic laboratories. Library 2 includes MS/MS spectra for 901potentially toxic substances of interest to forensic analysis and clinical research. Retention times and method conditions are based on a Biphenyl column.
Simple Data Analysis Using LabSolutions Insight Explore™
Data acquired with a Shimadzu Q-TOF system can be analyzed easily using LabSolutions Insight Explore software. Library searching and compound identification can be performed in just three steps. Search results are displayed in a format that is visually easy to understand.

Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)
Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a group of persistent and harmful chemicals that can be commonly found in the environment globally. These anthropogenic chemicals can come from various sources such as manufacturing, industrial applications, food contact materials and consumer products, and eventually end up and accumulate in the water, soil and living organisms.
