Detection of steroids by fast gas chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ)
Resource description
Project Title: Detection of steroids by fast gas chromatography triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry (GC-QqQ)
Researchers: P. Van Eenoo, F. Delbeke, L. Lootens, W. Van Gansbeke, P. Van Renterghem
Institution: DoCoLab, Ghent University, Zwijnaarde, Belgium
Year accepted: 2009
Summary: The current project would use a novel type of instrument, namely a triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer(GCQqQ-MSn) to develop a method which is faster and is capable of detecting lower concentrations of prohibited anabolic steroids. This would allow for longer detection times of steroid misuse and higher sample throughput (i.e. faster reporting times).
