Immunoassays (IA) have offered sufficient sensitivity in toxicology for many decades. However, it lacks specificity and introduces technical challenges associated with identifying a growing number of new psychoactive substances (NPS). In contrast, mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques can be used to simultaneously identify a broader scope of compounds with multiple data acquisition modes and retrospective data analysis. Many complex biological matrices are encountered in these investigations, although blood is the most encountered biofluid. The extraction of multiple drugs with different physicochemical properties using a single protocol can be challenging. As such, many MS-based screening methods do not include cannabinoids, and laboratories still rely on IA-based detection.
The International Alliance of Clinical and Forensic Toxicologists (IACFT), your free, virtual, and multilingual association, is dedicating its Autumn 2021 Virtual Meeting to URINE. Urine is the biological specimen with the multitude of both functionalities and pitfalls when used in the clinical or forensic toxicology decision making.
This course is ON-DEMAND and can be taken at your own pace. The course is 10 modules, with each module lasting 2 full hours.
2021 Online Forensic Symposium
WELCOME!! The scientific content for Current Trends in Seized Drug Analysis was selected by Program Chair Ruth Waddell-Smith, PhD, Director of the Forensic Science Program at Michigan State University (USA) and Irene Breum-Muller, PhD, University of Copenhagen, and Chair of the ENFSI Drug Working Group. The event, which is open to students, researchers, and practitioners offers access to internationally renowned experts and is approved for recertification credit by the American Board of Criminalists (ABC). As always with events in the Online Forensic Symposium Series, there is no registration fee and no travel costs so one can learn without leaving the lab!2021 Online Forensic Symposium

Potency testing in edibles is challenging because each edible has a unique consistency and they each suffer from distinctive analytical challenges. During this 30 minutes, you will learn how to avoid laborious grinding steps. You will also get tips and tricks to optimally extract cannabinoids and get the cleanest samples. Learn how to remove fat from samples without losing you analytes of interest. Testing chocolate, cookies and lotions will never be painful anymore. Discover a way to process all gummy types with a single and simple procedure. Find a way to reach lower detection limits and better accuracy in THC-Infused beverages. Adopting these simple procedures will increase the number of samples you can process per hour and enable you to get the most accurate and robust quantification of THC and other drugs in those difficult samples.
