Thermo Fisher Scientific has brought out the Easytox 2.5 GC/MS for routine drug testing.
It reduces costs, increases sample throughput and improves productivity in forensic and clinical laboratories analysing urine for signs of drug abuse.
The Easytox 2.5 combines the Thermo Scientific DSQ II single quadrupole GC/MS system with the Toxlab Forms 2.5 software package and Trace GC columns and consumables.
Toxicology laboratories must comply with strict regulations on quality control processes and performance-based methods.
The Easytox 2.5 provides methods and documentation for extraction and GC/MS analysis of common drugs of abuse in urine, offering full compliance with substance abuse and mental health services administration (SAMHSA) requirements for drug testing.
The DSQ II offers sensitivity for lower detection limits.
The Durabrite XL ion source improves mass spectrometer maintenance, minimising instrument downtime.
The Toxlab Forms 2.5 software is designed for the workflow of toxicology laboratories.
Toxlab Forms 2.5 software features Method Forge which simplifies method development by acquiring and library searching a full scan data file and building a method with the results.
Method Forge also allows the input of peak integration and other method settings, which can be customised further.
The templates and wizards of Toxlab Forms 2.5 simplify day-to-day sample analysis.
The powerful Smart Reporting function incorporates real-time data changes into the reports, eliminating the need for re-processing and re-analysis.
