An Application Kit for the Screening of Samples for Analytes of Forensic and Toxicological Interest Using TOF or Q-TOF LC/MS with a Personal Forensics/Toxicology Database

Abstract: A Forensic and Toxicological screening application kit has been developed for use with the Agilent TOF and Q-TOF Mass Spectrometers which contains an accurate mass database with a content of around 6700 analytes. The aim of the MassHunter Personal Forensics and Toxicology Database Kit is to provide a user with a sufficient starting point for the analysis of samples for which the ability to detect and identify from a large array of forensic and toxicological analytes is necessary. The combined system allows the user to create custom databases containing retention times of compounds of interest for smaller and more specific suites of analytes according to specific requirements. A test mix containing analytes of forensic interest, to demonstrate the functionality of the MassHunter Personal Forensics and Toxicology Database Kit, together with an example of a general screening method for common drugs of abuse is provided.
