Instrumentation

Our laboratory maintains two LC-MS systems; the Agilent 6550 iFunnel QTOF/MS attached to an Agilent 1260 Infinity LC is used for all analytical and clinical toxicology work and suspect screening projects while the AB ScieX 5500 Triple Quad attached to an Agilent 1260 Infinity LC is used for all targeted environmental biomonitoring and MDR-TB drug hair analysis. More recently, our collaboration with the University of the Philippines Drugs of Abuse Research Laboratory has employed both instruments to compare their relative sensitivities to a more than 100 analytes in a comprehensive drug panel.
