Additional analysis will be conducted at the Equine Analytical Drug Testing (EADT) Laboratory. The Equine Laboratory occupies >1,500 sq. ft and underwent substantial custom renovations in order to be on the cutting edge of innovation for  analytical science. The laboratory is well equipped with state-of-the-art instrumentation (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometers). In addition to instrumentation, the laboratory is equipped with SpeedDisk 48 place and 96 well positive pressure SPE manifolds, Zymark TurboVap – nitrogen evaporators, Sorvall centrifuges, Revco laboratory Refrigerators, Revco Laboratory Freezers, and a Revco -80°C Freezer. The laboratory currently has a license for the proteomic PEAKS™ and a license for the Compound Discoverer, both proteomic software programs. The equine laboratory contains the following instruments to support Center researchers:

• Thermo TSQ Altis Triple Quadrupole, Mass Spectrometer w/Vanquish UHPLC

• Thermo Orbitrap Exploris 480, Mass Spectrometer w/UltraMate 3000 NanoLC
