Used to target the golden years af anabolic steroids Gas Chromatography &Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry: Used to detect nitrogen containing compounds that increase athlate's endurance A valuable testing option due to its speed, specificity and sensitivity Revolutionized steroid anatysis LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD THE TESTING PROCESS EXPLAINED At the 2012 Summer Games over 6,000 samples were tested step 1 step 2 step 3 step 4 'A' is screened for the presence of banned substances using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry If a banned substance is If a banned substance is detected and confirmed in steps 2 and 3, the 'B' sample is analyzed. If the same banned substance is A urine sample is collected from detected during the screening, 'A' is reanalyzed to confirm the presence of the banned substance an athlete and is divided into two 50 milliliters aliquots, 'A' and 'B' detected in 'B,' the athlete is sanctioned Agilent Technologies
