Toxicology transformed: Why accuracy now leads the way

Drug Target Review

By employing advanced analytical techniques like high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) and carefully calibrating systems with optimal internal standards (IS), we effectively mitigate matrix effects and provide reliable preclinical toxicology data. These solutions must contain analytes and internal standards at known concentrations.
