How Does Mass Spectrometry Enhance Toxicological Analysis?


Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in toxicology due to its ability to provide detailed information about the molecular structure of compounds. It is particularly useful in the identification of unknown compounds and the quantification of known substances at very low concentrations. The sensitivity and specificity of MS make it indispensable in the detection of trace contaminants in complex biological matrices such as blood or urine. Recent advancements, such as tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), have further enhanced its capabilities by allowing for more precise and accurate analyses.
