UCT attending AOAC International (September 26-29)

As the market leader in the provision of SPE/QuEChERS materials, methods and applications, UCT members will be attending the forthcoming AOAC International meeting in Orlando, Florida. (September 26-29 2010) This meeting brings together environmental scientists from around the world.

UCT is proud of its record in the development, application, and innovation in the area of solid phase sorbents for environmental testing laboratories and will be present to discuss the newest approaches and innovations. UCT will be represented by Don Shelly and Hocine Omari, two of UCT's most experienced representatives. Together Don and Hocine will be on hand to answer any questions, help with queries, and assist scientists at any level in the wide field of environmental analysis.

LC-MS/MS Course at NYS DCJS (September 27-28)

Dr. Michael Coyer will be presenting extraction methods and applications (UCT) at the forthcoming LC-MS/MS course organized in collaboration with DCJS (NYS). As UCT is at the forefront of development of SPE analytical materials for Forensic Toxicology laboratories using both GC-MS and Tandem Mass Spectrometry, Dr.Coyer will be explaining the high quality extractions that can be performed using UCT's world renowned products.

UCT's SPE sorbents have been widely recognized in the field of LC-MS/MS as giving lower matrix effects, limits of detection,and quantification when applied to biological samples such as post mortem specimens. UCT is always happy to collaborate with agencies such as DCJS in order to advance the education of forensic scientists to not only understand the science of SPE but to advance their techniques in the isolation, identification, and quantification of drugs/ metabolites in biological samples. Presently, the Clean Screen® and Styre Screen® solid phase extraction columns are used in New York State in Medical Examiners and Crime Laboratory settings. This meeting, with its emphasis on applications of LC-MS/MS, will demonstrate the wide range of analyses that can performed on UCT materials, supported by Dr.Coyer's presentation on extraction techniques.

South Carolina Law Enforcement Division Seminar - September 17th

As the world leader in SPE products and methologies, UCT is always proud to assist scientists in the field of Forensic Toxicology understand and advance their understanding of the science of SPE and related techniques. UCT in collaboration with the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SCLED) is providing a cost free seminar hosted by Philip Spraker, a senor representative of UCT for many years and Dr. Jeff Hackett for the purpose of continuing the professional development of forensic toxicologists in the South Carolina region. With the publication of NAS report on Forensic Science in USA, UCT is always willing to provide educational support to facilities such as the seminar with SCLED scientists to maintain their accredited status.
