100% Hydrolysis – 0% Doubt

Many drugs undergo glucuronidation prior to excretion, which requires an enzymatic or acidic hydrolysis – a challenge for most assays and in-house methods. In contrast, the MassTox® Drugs of Abuse Testing assay from Chromsystems includes a carefully selected enzyme that has proven to function with all drugs, including codeine and other substances usually difficult to hydrolyse. This ensures a complete and selective hydrolysis of all drugs covered in the assay.

Proven Accuracy and Reliability

A lab experienced in routine drugs of abuse testing performed a comparative analysis of the MassTox® assay with an LC-MS/MS based inhouse method. Values obtained correspond very well with each other at concentrations within the linearity of the method. This demonstrates the accuracy of data and the suitability of the Chromsystems assay to replace LC-MS/MS based in-house methods in the forensic and clinical laboratory. The MassTox® assay also has been successfully used in proficiency testing schemes of GTFCh, Instand and RfB. 


LC-MS/MS: Faster Sample Prep – Lower Workload

A comparison of the utility of the LC-MS/MS assay in the daily routine with GC-MS also has been made. Results not surprisingly demonstrate that LC-MS/MS allows the direct analysis of the specimens and eliminates the need for derivatisation steps. This makes the sample prep much simpler and less time-consuming in comparison to GC-MS. Another advantage is the need for much lower sample volumes. This means: when comparing our LC-MS/MS assay with GC-MS, then it provides comparable data, but with the advantage for LC-MS/MS to offer a faster sample prep and lower sample volumes.

Total run time 12 min 10-15 min

Article: Drugs of Abuse Testing with LC-MS/MS

In this article we compare LC-MS/MS with GC-MS currently considered as gold standard. The benefits of LC-MS/MS are demonstrated and it is shown how a 100% hydrolysis of glucuroniated drugs can be achieved.
