About This Course
Mass Spectrometry for Toxicology and Drug Testing teaches the analytical workhorse behind modern toxicology, forensics and clinical drug testing. You learn how mass spectrometry works and why its sensitivity and specificity make it the reference method, how it is coupled with chromatography (LC-MS and GC-MS), and how methods are developed and validated to detect and quantify drugs, toxins and metabolites. The course covers sample preparation, interpretation of spectra, and the quality and regulatory standards that toxicology demands. You finish able to reason about a mass-spectrometry method for a toxicology question. A verified e-Certificate of competency and e-Marksheet from the Deep Science & Technology Consortium.
