Opis

Forensic Applications of Mass Spectrometry combines the most current developments in applications of mass spectrometry techniques to forensic analyses. The techniques discussed include:
capillary-GC/MS
thermospray-LC/MS
tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)
pyrolysis-GC/MS
isotope ratio mass spectrometry
The applications include:
analysis of body fluids and hair for drugs of abuse
drug testing in sports
analysis of accelerants in fire debris
detection of hidden explosives in luggage and mail
identification of explosives in post-explosion debris
examination of evidential materials (paints, fibers, synthetic polymers)
authentication of regulated products (flavoring substances, fruit juices)
protection of industrial products by isotopic signature
