Original Toronto Star caption: At work: Chief chemist Pierre Beaumier at Mann Laboratories says precise testing methods banish the risk of mistaking one drug for another in a worker's urine or blood sample. Gas chromatography mass spectometry devices, such as the one Beaumier is shown using, cost up to $300,000 and identify individual drug molecules.
