Forensic Applications of Mass Spectrometry (Modern Mass Spectrometry)

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/MSthermospray-LC/MStandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)pyrolysis-GC/MSisotope ratio mass spectrometryThe applications include:analysis of body fluids and hair for drugs of abusedrug testing in sportsanalysis of accelerants in fire debrisdetection of hidden explosives in luggage and mailidentification of explosives in post-explosion debrisexamination of evidential materials (paints, fibers, synthetic polymers)authentication of regulated products (flavoring substances, fruit juices)protection of industrial products by isotopic signature
