The Eastern Analytical Symposium (EAS) will be holding its annual conference in Somerset, NJ from November 18-20.  At this year’s conference members from UCT, Inc. will be presenting a Forensic Toxicology workshop on November 19th in the Princeton Suite of the Garden State Exhibit Center.  The workshop will be chaired by Dr.Jeff Hackett.

Dr. Hackett will also be presenting case studies involving the forensic toxicological analyses of new designer drugs.  Mike Telepchak, CEO of UCT, will be presenting work on solid phase extraction (SPE) applications in forensic toxicology.  The session will include information on the SPE and analysis of Opiates using HILIC chromatography (James Anasti, Cedar Crest College, PA), and recommendations for the analysis of drugs in drugs and driving cases (Kayla Lowrie, Arcadia University, PA).  Attendees will learn how solid phase extraction is instrumental in creating efficient, productive analyses for the forensic toxicology lab.
