UCT is proud of its connection to the forensic community and its support of the major conferences around the world including the AAFS Annual meeting in Washington DC, February 18th-23rd, 2013. At this years conference, UCT will be presenting two outstanding posters in the area of Forensic Toxicological Analysis.
In the first poster, Dr. Jeff Hackett will be presenting work carried out using UCT's flagship SPE sorbent (Clean Screen DAU206) concerning the effects of bleaching agents on hair samples containing Amphetamines and Bathsalt type drugs. In order to ascertain the effect of degradation of these drugs with bleaching agents, not only is a highly efficient extraction required, but also one that returns clean and reproducible results. The Clean Screen DAU206 is known around the world as the finest SPE sorbent with these exact properties.
In the second poster, UCT collaborated with a major crime laboratory to present results of analysis for the metabolites of one of the newer Spice type drugs (AM2201). In this study, Clean Screen THC 206 was employed to provide the extraction of the primary metabolite of AM2201. Clean Screen THC is already recognized as the best SPE sorbent for the extraction of cannabinoids (THC, THC-OH, and Carboxy-THC), and now is being recognized for its ability to extract Spice drugs from biological samples.
