Performance Animal Drug Screen - How LC/MS technology was built to ensure safe and fair competition

About this episode

This episode discusses the role of LC/MS technology in ensuring safe and fair competition in performance animal drug testing.

Liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is a powerful methodology that is used for several tests at TVMDL, most notably, the Performance Animal Drug Screen. Knowing the stakes of a positive result, TVMDL works hard to ensure testing is performed accurately. In this episode, Dr. Brandon Dominguez and Dr. Michael Piccione chat with Analytical Chemistry Section Head Dr. Mike Henderson to discuss LC/MS testing and how it ensures safe and fair competition.
