Accurate Mass based Toxicology Screening in a Routine

Accurate Mass based Toxicology Screening in a Routine Toxicology lab Facts and real practice
Luc Humbert, Principal Scientist – Forensic Toxicology, CHU Lille, France
Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry is undoubtedly the gold
standard technique in forensic toxicology.
Even if it is mostly seen for confirmation and absolute quantification based using MRM
experiments, there is a big driving force to apply it into toxicology screening. For this,
Toxicology laboratories have access to a wide range of technologies.
Lille hospital after having, successfully, applied quad MS based screening is now
relying solely on accurate mass using TOF MS.
Luc Humbert talk will highlight the true benefice of this new routine approach with a
special focus on the software tools available to seamless the actual workflow .
