How Has Mass Spectrometry Revolutionized Toxicology?
Mass spectrometry is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify chemicals in a sample. In toxicology, it plays a pivotal role in the detection and analysis of drugs, poisons, and other toxic agents. This technology provides high specificity and sensitivity, allowing for the precise measurement of toxicants even in trace amounts. Mass spectrometry has become an indispensable tool in forensic toxicology, clinical diagnostics, and environmental analysis, helping to unravel complex toxicological profiles.
