Forensic Toxicology Database for LC-MS/MS
LC/MS/MS Forensic Toxicology Database
For LabSolutions™ LCMS
The database includes information on drugs of abuse, hypnotics, psychotropics, pesticides, prescription drugs and natural toxins.
Simplified Acquisition and Identification

The Forensic Toxicology Database includes optimized LC-MS/MS data acquisition parameters and a library database to help clinical and forensic researchers build screening and quantitation methods quickly, simplifying method development.
MRM & Spectral Library database contains information on more than 2,500 compounds
The spectral library database is built using two separation conditions (ODS and Biphenyl). Both methods have information on clinical and forensic compounds of interest in routine analysis. The ODS method contains information on 1,250 compounds and the Biphenyl method contains 1,281 compounds. Compound datasheet includes: monoisotopic mass, RT, CAS number, formula and compound class. This package provides Synchronized Survey Scan parameters (MRM parameters, MRM intensity threshold and triggered product ion scan parameters) optimized for screening analysis.
Enhanced identification by merged spectrum
Each certified reference material was acquired with three different collision energies to generate an information-rich merged-CE spectrum which can be used in library matching and compound verification. Matching with a merged-CE spectrum library can be a powerful tool to identify compounds with a library score.

Shimadzu has released the LC/MS/MS Methid Package for Glycosaminoglycans
The study of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) or mucopolysaccharides, and enzymes involved in GAG metabolism is an important aspect of clinical research related to lysosomal storage. Quantitation of GAGs in bones, joints, the brain, heart, lungs, and other organs is a useful tool in this field of study. GAGs can be quantitated by measuring the sulfated disaccharides produced by enzymatic degradation of GAGs. The research group led by Hironori Kobayashi of Shimane University Hospital, Clinical Laboratory Division, has been instrumental in the development of methods for the detection of sulfated disaccharides by LC/MS.
