Development of a high throughput IRMS method: a new era for IRMS doping analyses?

Code: 23A20MP

GC-C-IRMS is used to confirm the exogenous origin of endogenous anabolic steroids. Samples are analyzed with a fast initial testing procedure to isolate suspicious samples and, afterwards, the suspicious samples are analyzed with an IRMS confirmatory method. High throughput IRMS will allow a substantial expansion of CIR analyses, enabling a considerable increase in doping violation detections and the set-up of an efficient CIR ABP module. High throughput IRMS is also highly desirable in those cases where a large number of samples needs to be tested on IRMS in relative short period of time e.g., preseason/regular season testing and Olympic Games.
