Forensic Sciences
Forensic Applications of Mass Spectrometry combines the most current developments in applications of mass spectrometry techniques to forensic analyses. The techniques discussed include:ocapillary-GC/MSothermospray-LC/MSotandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)opyrolysis-GC/MSoisotope ratio mass spectrometryThe applications include:oanalysis of body fluids and hair for drugs of abuseodrug testing in sportsoanalysis of accelerants in fire debrisodetection of hidden explosives in luggage and mailoidentification of explosives in post-explosion debrisoexamination of evidential materials (paints, fibers, synthetic polymers)oauthentication of regulated products (flavoring substances, fruit juices)oprotection of industrial products by isotopic signature
