Carbon isotope ratio mass spectrometry (CIR-MS) use in Detecting Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports

Carbon isotope ratio mass spectrometry (CIR-MS) is an advanced analytical technique used to detect the use of synthetic anabolic steroids in sports by differentiating between naturally occurring and synthetic forms of the hormones based on their carbon isotope ratios (13C/12C). CIR-MS is highly sensitive and specific, making it a valuable tool in anti-doping laboratories for […]
