Event Overview:
With more than 800 novel psychoactive substances, so-called designer drugs, emerging over the last 10 years, forensic laboratories must detect a wider range of drugs and keep up with a constantly changing drug scene. Non-targeted screening by high resolution mass spectrometry enables the detection of known and “unknown” drugs.
Key Learning Objectives:
- How high resolution mass spectrometry is used in forensic laboratories for comprehensive drug screening
- How informatics workflows enable the detection of both illicit and prescription drugs as well as novel psychoactive substances
- The advantages of using high resolution mass spectrometry in a forensic laboratory
Speaker: Vincent Di Fazio, MSc, Forensic Toxicologist, National Institute of Criminalistics and Criminology
