Can the Mass Spectrometer screen for every drug a patient may be taking?
The Mass Spectrometer can screen for many drugs but not all. In the case of Millennium Laboratories we have focused our mass spectrometers to identify and quantify the drugs taken by pain management patients. In this circumstance, we use highly accurate deuterated forms of the drugs which are the most specific and quantitative ways of determining drugs in their concentration. We are focused on these drugs to give the highest quality of results. We do not test for every drug a patient may be taking.
