Wow, PICOgrams.   Those are really , really, really small.

Had to look it up.

picogram (plural picograms) A unit of mass equal to 0.000 000 000 001 grams.

 

Pretty impressive they could detect that.

Can 7 picograms of that really make any difference?

How much might have been in his system at an earlier date?

From the internet:

Quote

he long-term DHCMT metabolite 20βOH-NorDHCMT (4-chloro-17β-hydroxymethyl-17α-methyl-18-norandrosta-1,4,13-trien-3-one) was reported earlier to be detectable in urine samples for more than 22 days after DHCMT administration

7 picograms of Oral T?  How long ago did he take it?  That's such a stupidly small amount that I'm going to guess that he ingested it in a past life.

Was the 0.7 picograms what was present in the sample?  I wonder how big the sample was?  

DHCMT has a molar mass of 334.88 g/mol.  So 0.7 g has rougly (6.02*10^23)  * (0.7 * 10^-12 g) / 334.88 g/mol 1.2 billion molecules of DHMCT.

It's not 0.7 grams.

It's 7 trillionths of a gram.

He did the equation right though, except he used 0.7 pg and the tweet said 7. 
I’ll admit I never expected to see Avogadro’s number on OH.

I think scOtt posted a TOOL song that used it.

I mistyped, but equation should be correct  0.7pg = 0.7 * 10^-12 g.  1.2 billion molecules of DHMCT.  Howeve rI don't know the sample size.  1.2 billion seems like a lot, but a sample of 1 gram of water contains  6.02*10^23 * 1g ./ 18.03 g/mol (MW of H20 = 3.34 * 10^22 molecules of water, thus the molar concentration would be 1.2 * 10^9 / 3.34 * 10^22 = 3.6 *10 ^-14 =  27 parts per trillion ( I think)

They have filed charges against the Angels employee who gave Tyler Skaggs the fentanyl that killed him last year.

The charging documents claim that the employee routinely gave Skaggs and "other employees in his workplace" the drug.
