Thermo Scientific Tox Explorer Collection

By using the Thermo Scientific Tox Explorer Collection, clinical research, forensic and anti-doping toxicology, laboratories facing the challenges of analysing increasing numbers of analytes in biological matrices can easily and rapidly optimise their liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) methods for targeted screening and quantification.

Offering a comprehensive LC-MS workstream for toxicology assays, the collection consists of tested methods enabling toxicology laboratories to achieve high-resolution data, regardless of analyte type, matrix complexities or user expertise. It consists of a comprehensive library of analytes, allowing for fast identification and targeted screening assays with 1500 compounds confirmed in a single analysis.

The collection includes the following components: a Thermo Scientific Q Exactive Plus Hybrid Quadrupole-Orbitrap mass spectrometer; a Thermo Scientific Vanquish Flex UHPLC system; Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software; a Thermo Scientific Accucore column and consumables configured for high performance; an extensive HRAM mzVault library of 1500+ compounds and database with streamlined data processing and reporting; a method comprising critical hardware parameters along with a step-by-step walkthrough guide for quick start-up and method installation; and application support and training.

The collection provides a robust, consistent, all-in-one LC-MS workstream, with an extensive library of analytes to allow for high-performance, targeted analyte screening on a daily basis. It provides an easy-to-implement workstream, consisting of a selection of toxicology solutions to facilitate targeted screening and quantification. Users should therefore be able to achieve a high quality of data.

The package is coupled with a complete start-up guide that includes installation and method instructions. The collection also includes a complete portfolio of services and support solutions from Unity Lab Services, Thermo Fisher Scientific’s single source for integrated lab service, assistance and supply management.
