2 Pain management drugs and drugs of abuse analysis optimized for forensic toxicologists The Thermo Scientific PAiNACEA suite of solutions is a complete set of integrated liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) systems optimized for qualitative and quantitative analyses of benzodiazepines, opiates, synthetic opioids, alcohol biomarkers and medical drugs of abuse in forensic toxicology. The PAiNACEA suite of solutions maximizes sample throughput, improves turnaround time and reduces overall analysis cost, without compromising data quality. 2Thermo Scientific PAiNACEA Suite of Solutions Pain management drugs are thermally labile, polar compounds highly amenable to LC-MS analysis. They ionize easily with either atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray ionization (ESI), and can be detected and quantified by the mass spectrometer at low concentrations in biological matrices with impressive sensitivity and specificity. LC-MS offers unsurpassed speed and accuracy compared to traditional analytical techniques. You can screen, confirm and quantitate using a single analytical system and in many cases a single analytical run. The technology enables easy expansion of testing panels to accommodate analysis of not only more target drugs, but also their metabolites, without going through extensive method development or waiting for the latest immunoassay tool. For analyzing a wide array of pharmacologically important drugs and their metabolites in complex biological matrices in less time, LC-MS is the technology of choice. This PAiNACEA system is equipped with the Thermo Scientific Transcend TLX system coupled with the Thermo Scientific TSQ Quantum Access MAX triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometer. We offer expandable LC systems to meet your forensic laboratory s budget and throughput needs, from ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to automated online sample preparation and multiplexing. Couple this with our industry-leading triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometer or our state-of-the-art ultrahigh resolution accurate mass (HRAM) high performance benchtop mass spectrometer and you have the best-in-class LC-MS solution right out of the box. Our dedicated team of specialists will help you determine which PAiNACEA solution is best suited to your workflow.

3 The PAiNACEA system helped us increase our sample throughput by multiplexing four LC channels without sacrificing the selectivity or sensitivity of the triple stage quadrupole mass spectrometer.

Run a single method or multiple methods simultaneously to ensure ensuring the maximum utilization of your mass spectrometer. You can significantly boost productivity without compromising data quality or sensitivity. The Transcend TLX system also offers Thermo Scientific TurboFlow technology an automated online sample preparation technique for complex matrices for the mass spectrometer. By combining the principles of turbulence, diffusion and chemistry, TurboFlow technology quickly separates target analytes from biological fluids prior to analysis by mass spectrometry. TurboFlow methods are ideal for laboratories wishing to reduce time performing sample preparation. Protein Precipitation (PPT) 1. Aliquot of sample 2. Spike with IS 3. Add acetonitrile 4.

6 Unequivocally Identify with High Resolution Accurate Mass (HRAM) The Thermo Scientific Exactive high performance benchtop mass spectrometer is the latest addition to an industry-leading portfolio of mass spectrometers for forensic toxicologists. Powered by Orbitrap technology, the Exactive high performance benchtop LC-MS system is ideal for fast, unambiguous identification of drugs and their metabolites in complex mixtures. With exceptional mass accuracy measured up to the fourth decimal place, the Exactive easily resolves co-eluting isobaric interferences common to biomatrices. Taking advantage of HRAM full-scan mass-spectral data, you can screen, confirm and quantitate target and non-target compounds in a single analytical run. Minimal to no-method development time is required. And with HRAM, the data can then be retrospectively analyzed for compounds, without the need to re-inject your samples. Area Ratio EtG ,000 ng/ml Ethyl_Glucuronide Y = *X R^2 = W: 1/X^ ng/ml ng/ml Area Ratio EtS ,000 ng/ml Ethyl_Sulphate Y = *X R^2 = W: 1/X^2 The Exactive mass spectrometer resolves EtG and EtS from matrix in urine with HRAM (Data courtesy of Fortes Labs, Portland, Oregon) The beauty of the PAiNACEA system with the Exactive mass spectrometer is that it allows us to look for unknown metabolites at the same time that we quantitate known metabolites. In our laboratory, we have been able to identify four different fentanyl metabolites with no need for UV detection, fraction collection with NMR, or MS/MS fragmentation patterns.
