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.

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.
