The laboratory houses GC/MS-MS instruments (gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) and LC/MS-MS instruments (liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry). Two LC/MS-MS systems can be seen in the foreground.

According to the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the analysis of doping control samples in sport may only be carried out by WADA-accredited laboratories.
Currently (as of February 10, 2026), there are 30 accredited laboratories worldwide.
