UCT is honored to have two outstanding papers included in the Special Issue of Journal of Analytical Toxicology (JAT).
Forensic toxicologists are always being challenged to extract, confirm and quantify drugs and poisons in post mortem samples. The September issue of JAT features a publication by Dr. Thomas Rosano, D-ABFT who employed the UCT flagship sorbent (Clean Screen DAU) to perform this analysis. In his paper "Postmortem Drug Screening by Non-Targeted and Targeted Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Technology" (JAT 35 (7) 411-23), Dr Rosano's team was able to analyze over 200 drugs on the Clean Screen DAU with excellent levels of efficiency. This developed methodology is indicative of the high quality of materials that the UCT is renowned for.
In a separate article, presented by Dr. James Watterson, D-ABFT and team, "Relative Distribution of Ketamine and Norketamine in Skeletal Tissues Following Various Periods of Decomposition" (JAT 35(7) 452-458), UCT's new and unique sorbent Clean Screen Xcel, was employed to extract, confirm, and quantify Ketamine and its metabolite from decomposing samples. It is common for toxicologists working in forensic laboratories to encounter such materials and this sorbent is shown to show excellent analytical characteristics
