Toxicology laboratories like yours are being challenged to keep pace with increasing caseloads, emerging analytes, the need for greater accuracy, and the demand for faster identification. Thermo Fisher Scientific has built a comprehensive portfolio of toxicology solutions – from sample collection to screening assays and confirmation testing based on chromatography and mass spectrometry solutions that enhance the entire workflow. Our solutions deliver highly reliable and robust results that improve uptime and productivity for any toxicology workflow.


Workshop


Advances in MS-based toxicological screening of NPS compounds  

Monday, 2 September | 16:00 - 17:00 CEST | OLMA Messen - Hall 9.0.B

New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) are a growing global concern and present an ongoing challenge to toxicology laboratories, due to their diversity and constant evolution. High resolution accurate mass (HRAM) mass spectrometry has become a gold standard to perform toxicological screening for both clinical and forensic applications, although handling and interpreting large amounts of data poses a major challenge. Recently, new LC-MS end-to-end solutions, such as the Thermo Scientific Tox Explorer Collection, with large experimentally collected libraries of >2000 compounds with retention times have been implemented to address these analytical workflows.  

However, for molecules not included in targeted databases, laboratories must constantly develop new ways to look for these NPS in an efficient and time-sensitive manner. In this workshop, experts will discuss the Thermo Scientific Tox Explorer Collection, as well as an innovative screening workflow combining both gas chromatography and liquid chromatography hyphenated to Thermo Scientific Orbitrap technology. The session will provide insights into a novel 2-step workflow utilizing molecular networks, that identify molecules displaying a broad array of molecular diversity responsible for poisoning related cases in both a clinical and forensic toxicology context.

Speakers:
Edward Goucher, Clinical Research and Toxicology, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Hemel, UK
Romain Magny, Laboratoire de Toxicologie Biologique, Fédération de Toxicologie , Hôpital Lariboisière, Paris, France
