Getting a Clean Match in Forensic Toxicology using LC-MS/MS

Feb 6, 2017 | Blogs, Forensic | 0 comments

As a forensic scientist, what holds you back in the lab? It’s a question we often ask ourselves here at SCIEX, as product development depends on customer wants, needs, satisfaction, and ease of workflow. Ensuring evidence can withstand forensic scrutiny, for example, correlates with the integrity of testing procedures. Knowing this, how do you convince your staff to be confident in results, or convey technical data to a non-technical courtroom audience? If you have been left wondering how to get to the bottom of topics like these, check out the following toxicology toolkit. It’s a bundle of resources at your fingertips that includes a webinar led by Tania A. Saski Ph.D., Northwest Physician Laboratories, Bellevue, Using QTRAP® Technology to Provide Accurate Identification and Confirmation Beyond a Reasonable Doubt, and so much more.  Download Info Kit >

Tune in at your convenience to hear about her insights on four forensic cases with questionable results which were rectified using QTRAP® technology. When sample ratios are on the bubble and retention times vary, discover how LC-MS/MS can be a logical solution for difficult confirmations like opiate analysis. Gain higher confidence in your results and make it clear to everyone involved that you have a sample match.

In addition to the webinar, gain access to bundled application notes, a white paper, and in case you missed it, an e-seminar too. Want to get more insight into forensic applications? Visit, Border Security with Accuracy, Reliability, and Reproducibility.

How SCIEX Now empowers mass spec users to work with more control, clarity and confidence

In this interview, Andy Wilcox, Senior Market Development Manager, Aftermarket and Software, speaks with Susanna Baqué, Senior Director of Global Customer Experience, about how SCIEX Now gives customers one connected digital workspace to manage instruments, reduce time spent searching for information, resolve issues faster and keep their laboratory running more efficiently and with greater confidence.

Bioanalysis across modalities: Advancing confident decisions with modern LC‑MS strategies

As therapeutic pipelines continue to diversify, bioanalysis is being asked to do more than ever before. From small molecules to complex biologics, today’s scientists must generate high‑quality, reliable data across a growing range of molecule types and workflows, often under increasing time pressure.

The rules have changed

Regulated laboratories are evolving faster than ever. New analytical modalities, higher sample throughput, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and leaner teams are reshaping how work gets done. At the same time, expectations for data integrity, standardization, and operational efficiency continue to increase complexity and/or scope. In this environment, LC-MS software is no longer simply an instrument control platform—it has become a critical part of a laboratory’s quality management system. The question is no longer whether your lab has changed, but whether your software has evolved to support the way regulated labs operate today, and if they are ready and able to meet the demands, they will face tomorrow.
