WB64304: Grow Your LC-MS Research and Forensic Lab Profitability with Cost-effective Analytical Workflows
This webinar presents LC-MS workflows for cost-effective research and forensic laboratory operation. The workflows,
enabled by simple sample preparation coupled with rapid analysis on a 4-channel multiplexing LC system, include
quantitation of vitamin D metabolites (25-OH-Vitamin D2 & D3) in blood serum and methylmalonic acid (MMA) in blood
serum for research use, buprenorphine and its metabolite norbuprenorphine in urine, and ethanol metabolites ethyl
glucuronide and ethyl sulfate (EtG/EtS) in urine for forensic use. High-throughput data quality and ease of operation
for reduced labor costs and consumables cost will be discussed.

Screening
Dr. Cristiana Stefan of CAMH will present the experience gained at her laboratory with comprehensive urine drug
screening for clinical research and forensic use. Using the Thermo Scientific™ Q Exactive™ hybrid quadrupole-
Orbitrap mass spectrometer, they were able to answer relevant questions for urine drug screening. Is this drug absent
or present in the urine? Are both parent and metabolites present, or only the metabolite(s)?
