How to streamline sample preparation for equine drug screening using LC-MS

In this video, Joe Di Bussolo from Thermo Fisher Scientific and Carisa Dixon Tate from PETRL explain how screening blood samples from racehorses for prohibited drugs requires validated methods and instrumentation that maximize sensitivity and selectivity while minimizing sample handling. They also explore the performance of traditional LC-MS systems and methods and how they can be improved by automating online sample cleanup by TurboFlow™ technology coupled with ultra high-resolution liquid chromatography (UHPLC). Furthermore, Di Bussolo and Tate discuss their experiences in developing and validating new drug screening methods.
