Detection of methamphetamine in mouse femurs exposed to high temperature
Bone samples are valuable for examining the cause of death and circumstance leading up to death when body fluids are not available for forensic toxicological analysis. Examined were heat‐induced changes in methamphetamine and amphetamine concentrations in femurs removed from meth...
Intentional overdose of glargine insulin: Determination of the parent compound in...
Insulin glargine is a long‐acting insulin analog that is converted after enzymatic cleavage of the arginine pair of the β‐chain into its main metabolite M1 (21A‐Gly‐insulin), which is responsible for the hypoglycemic activity. In all the overdose cases described in the literature...

Emerging Hybrid Separation Detection Techniques for Seized Drugs
Opioids and Emerging Drugs Webinar Series
This webinar will describe the great utility of emerging hybrid separation detection techniques for the analysis of seized drugs, particularly applicable to emerging drugs, that can overcome the limitations of classical methods such as gas chromatography (GC)- electron ionization mass spectrometry (EI MS) and gas chromatography- flame ionization detection.
Speakers: Ira S. Lurie, PhD, Agnes Winokur, PhD, Arian van Asten, PhD
Advances in Portable Drug Detection
Opioids and Emerging Drugs Webinar Series
The AAFS ad-hoc Opioid and Emerging Drugs Committee will lead a workshop that will introduce multiple research projects developing or validating portable on-site drug detection methods and equipment. Each method has capabilities over traditional colorimetric testing and may work towards increased on-site sample detection capability and improved detection and discrimination of fentanyl and unknown novel psychoactive substances (NPS) will be discussed.
Speakers: Amanda M. White, BS, Ira S. Lurie, PhD, Bruce R. McCord, PhD, Ruben F. Kranenburg, PhD, Sandra E. Rodriguez-Cruz, PhD
Advances in Ambient Ionization Mass Spectrometry for Synthetic Opioid Analysis
Opioids and Emerging Drugs Webinar Series
Ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AI-MS) is an increasingly adopted tool for seized drug analysis in both traditional laboratory and forward operating laboratory settings that has shown to be useful for the detection and identification of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids.
Speakers: Chris Gill, PChem, Megan Sterling, BS, J. Tyler Davidson, PhD, Edward Sisco, PhD
Laboratory Safety and Health for Preventing Drug Exposure
Forensic scientists serve an integral role in law enforcement organizations throughout the country. Working in a laboratory poses both well-characterized and novel risks to the health of forensic scientists including those associated with seized drugs. This webinar will discuss how to recognize forensic laboratory hazards and how to prevent workplace injuries and illnesses.
