TOXICOLOGY


ONLY FOR SALE IN THE UK

Microgen Bioproducts is the exclusive UK Distributor for the TOXI-LABTM AB – A Rapid Thin Layer Chromatography Based System for the Separation, Detection and Identification of Various Substances, including Drugs, in Urine.

The ToxiLabTM Drug Detection system can be used in hospital, reference and forensic laboratories to screen for the presence of drugs and other substances.

ToxiLabTM A

• used to detect analgesics, stimulants, tranquilisers and antidepressants (alkaline and neutral compounds)

ToxiLabTM B

• used to detect barbiturates and other hypnotics (acidic and neutral compounds)

Complementary to ToxiLabTM AB are special procedures that can be used as further confirmation tests eg for the sympathomimetic amines, benzoylecgonine and benzodiazepines.

Principle

• ToxiLabTM is a modification of the TLC technique whereby the extraction, concentration, inoculation, development and detection steps have been simplified for convenience and to minimise sample preparation time.

• Drugs / compounds are extracted using ToxiTubes which contain a mixture of solvents and buffering salts.

• The solvent extracts are concentrated by heat and evaporation onto discs of chromatographic media.

• The dried discs are inoculated into the openings of prestandardised chromatograms.

• The chromatograms are developed by placing them in developing jars containing a small amount of organic solvent.

• Elution of the unknown and standards from the discs and the resulting Rf occur during the migration of the solvent.

• Detection of the unknown and standard spots is achieved by dipping the chromatograms into chromogenic reagents.

• Identification is based on matching a spot in the unknown zone with an adjacent standard spot having the same Rf, size, shape and colour characteristics.

LTD OPIATES

• For initial screening or confirmation and identification of opiates in urine.

• Extraction is vacuum pump assisted through Solid Phase Extraction Columns (SPEC-LTD-MP3).

• concentration, inoculation, development and detection are similar to that for ToxiLab AB.

THC II

• A quick, easy and cost effective method to screen for or confirm the presence of the Marijuana metabolite (THC-COOH) in urine.

• Extraction is vacuum pump assisted through Solid Phase Extraction Columns (SPEC-C18-1).

• Detection and development are similar to that for ToxiLab AB.
