Specialty Tests

SMRTL’s uses specialized techniques for detecting substances not readily detected through the standard tesing process. The lab’s specialty tests include:

  • ISOTOPE RATIO MASS SPECTROMETRY (IRMS) ANALYSIS — detects doping with naturally-occurring steroids (such as testosterone) that are pharmaceutically produced.
  • ERYTHROPOIETIN (EPO) ANALYSIS — detects doping with EPO by athletes. Blood Passport analysis— detects unusual changes in athletes’ blood parameters over time as an indicator of doping.
  • HUMAN GROWGH HORMONE (HGH) ANALYSIS — detects doping with hGH by athletes.

SMRTL continues to be a leader in the development of specialized testing for performance enhancing substances.
