Anti-Doping Control Using Comprehensive Multidimensional Gas Chromatography Time-off-Flight Mass Spectrometry (GCxGC-TOFMS) for Enhanced Detection off Anaboliic Steroids iin Urine
29 Jun 2010: This application demonstrates that steroid screening is improved significantly by GCxGC-TOFMS compared to onedimensional chromatography using GCMS. Excellent calibration linearity for quantitation was achieved for all analytes at greater than 99.9%. Limits of detection at part per trillion levels were calculated from acquired data for all five steroids.

Analysis of Drug Facilitated Sexual Assault (DFSA) Drugs by Gas Chromatography-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry
29 Jun 2010: This poster displays the ability of GC-TOFMS to effectively screen case-study urine samples for the presence of potential DFSA drugs. The use of mass spectral deconvolution algorithms can increase sample throughput by reducing the need for total chromatographic resolution which allows shorter run times. Of the 24 samples analyzed, 16 contained drugs that would be considered potential DFSA drugs.
