FDA Toxicology Research, Mass Spectrometer


NCTR scientist conducting mass spectrometry experiment. Mass spectrometry (MS) is the science of displaying the spectra (singular spectrum) of the masses of the molecules comprising a sample of material. It is used for determining the elemental composition of a sample, the masses of particles and of molecules, and for elucidating the chemical structures of molecules. The National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR) is FDA's internationally recognized research center. The unique scientific research expertise of NCTR is critical in supporting FDA product centers and their regulatory science roles. NCTR, in partnership with researchers from government, academia, and industry, develops, refines, and applies current and emerging technologies to improve safety evaluations of FDA-regulated products.
