The Analytical Toxicology Laboratory is certified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to perform forensic blood drug and blood alcohol analysis.
We also do drug screen and quantitative analysis research and development applications. For updated analyte list and pricing, please contact Dr. Greg Dooley 970-491-5128 or toxicologylab@colostate.edu
Services Offered
Blood Alcohol Analysis using Gas Chromatography Flame Ionization Detection (GC-FID)
We utilize an Agilent 7890 GC with 7697 Headspace Sampler to do:
Quantitative determination of ethanol
Qualitative determinations of methanol, acetone, isopropanol, acetonitrile, ethyl acetate, difluorethane, sevoflurane, benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes
Drug Screening using Liquid Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-TOF-MS)
We utilize an Agilent 1290 Liquid Chromatography paired with an Agilent 6530 TOF-Mass spectrometer and our in-house accurate mass/retention time database to qualitatively identify drugs of interest in blood and other matrices. Our current Forensic Toxicology Database includes:
Drug Confirmation/Quantitation using Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
We utilize an Agilent 1290 Liquid Chromatography paired with an Agilent 6460 Triple Quadrupole Mass spectrometer to do drug confirmation and quantitation in blood and other matrices. Our current validated methodologies for quantitation includes:
