TDM Analytics
The Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (ACL) offers therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM ) for selected active ingredients. For this purpose, several instruments for chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods (LC-MS/MS) in combination with effective extraction methods are available to our specialized staff. With their support specific diagnostics can be performed reliably and quickly. The listing below contains a more detailed description of active ingredients with correspondingly deposited request forms (in German).
In order to provide you with the best possible information from our analyses, we ask that you carefully and conscientiously fill out the request forms. Incompletely filled out request forms can lead to rejection of the sample. Please also observe the drug-specific instructions for taking samples.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
