The Toxpod - When is a Drug Not a Drug?
play

10/01/19 • 36 min

In this episode, we dive into the techniques, practices, and guidelines used in forensic toxicology for drug identification. Do we have the balance right?
Some of the available identification guidelines:
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)
European Workplace Drug Testing Society (EWDTS)
Organisation of Scientific Area Committees (OSAC)
Gesellschaft für Toxikologische und Forensische Chemie (GTFCh)
That article Pete mentioned on amphetamine isomers:
Brown, D. H., et al. (2016). "Beta-methylphenylethylamines: common fragmentation pathways with amphetamines in electrospray ionization collision-induced dissociation." Drug Test Anal 8(3-4): 344-350.
