61D-6.007. Testing Methodologies, Measurement Uncertainties, Screening Limits for Racing Horses (Transferred)  


Effective on Wednesday, August 4, 2021
  • 1(1) Testing Methodologies: Methodologies used to screen for and confirm the administration of medications, drugs, and naturally occurring substances in racing horses shall be limited to the following: Immunoassay, Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LCMS), Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GCMS), Clinical Refractometer, and/or Specific Gravity.

    45(2) Measurement Uncertainties: The Division hereby incorporates by reference the Division Laboratory Measurement Uncertainty Schedule containing the established levels. An electronic copy can be located at 71https://www.flrules.org/Gateway/reference.asp?No=Ref-13341, 73Effective Date: 07-13-2021.

    76(a) All measurement uncertainties have been established at the maximum allowable concentration for those substances, analytes, and corresponding metabolites or markers contained within Rule 10061D-6.008, 101F.A.C., that undergo quantitative analysis, unless otherwise specified.

    109(b) If a sample is diluted for testing, the measurement uncertainty is multiplied by the factor of dilution.

    127(c) Measurements of uncertainty are not established for the testing of specimens in which the identification of a substance, analyte, or corresponding metabolite or marker at or above the lowest level of detection is sufficient to constitute a violation.

    166(3) Screening Limit for Prohibited Substances in Racing Horses: Any and all findings above zero that are over the limit of detection, under any condition of use, for prohibited substances shall be considered a violation of Section 203550.2415, F.S.
