China's Anti-Doping Agency Prepares for Olympic Games

By Labmedica staff writers
Posted on 05 Jun 2008
The China Anti-Doping Agency (Beijing, China) will examine more than 4,500 samples from athletes for banned drugs during the 2008 Olympic Games.

Three leadership delegations so far from the Chinese agency have been hosted by Agilent Technologies Inc. More...
The meetings include technical training on anti-doping instruments and methods developed by Agilent (Santa Clara, CA, USA), a primary supplier of technology to China's Anti-Doping Agency since 1988.

The agency has equipped its Beijing lab with Agilent liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC), and mass spectrometry (MS) instruments to confirm the chemical identity of suspected banned substances found in testing samples. Agilent is providing 18 LC/MS units and 19 GC/MS units for drug testing at the Games.

"China has quickly become a world model for anti-doping efforts,” said Du Lijun, director of China's Anti-Doping Agency. "Agilent's liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry instrumentation will help make China's Anti-Doping Agency testing in the 2008 Olympic Games the most technologically advanced yet.”
