Two New Posters at SOFT 2010 (Booth #9,10,11)

At the 2010 annual meeting of Society of Forensic Toxicologists, held in Richmond, VA, UCT Inc. will be presenting two new posters. This work has been performed in collaboration with a major crime laboratory facility. These posters demonstrate the wide range versatility of the world renowned Clean Screen DAU SPE column.

The first poster describes the use of this SPE column for analyzing both Psilocybin and Psilocin in urine using LC-MS/MS. Until now, analysts facing a "magic mushroom" intoxication have only been able to determine the concentrations of the metabolite either by GC-MS or LC-MS/MS using SPE, but with this new methodology they will be able to perform analyses providing valuable data on both compounds.

The second poster describes the analysis of Phenazepam in a whole blood sample. Although relatively uncommon in this country, this drug has been found in Central Europe. More recently, it has been found in drugs/driving cases in the US. The information contained in the poster will help analysts perform an efficient procedure using the famous Clean Screen SPE column.

We will be located at Booths #9,10,11. We look forward to seeing everyone!
