Forensic Applications of Mass Spectrometry combines the most current developments in applications of mass spectrometry techniques to forensic analyses. The techniques discussed include:
* capillary-GC/MS
* thermospray-LC/MS
* tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)
* pyrolysis-GC/MS
* isotope ratio mass spectrometry
The applications include:
* analysis of body fluids and hair for drugs of abuse
* drug testing in sports
* analysis of accelerants in fire debris
* detection of hidden explosives in luggage and mail
* identification of explosives in post-explosion debris
* examination of evidential materials (paints, fibers, synthetic polymers)
* authentication of regulated products (flavoring substances, fruit juices)
* protection of industrial products by isotopic signature
