Toxicology: Instrumentation, Methodology and Workflows, ASCLD Train the Director Series

Legacy workflows in toxicology generally involve a drug class screen followed by a gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (LC/MS-MS) confirmation analysis. Additional techniques could also be used in workflows, but their applications were focused on specific drugs.

Results required lengthy and costly workflows, especially when toxicologists were working with complicated samples.
