An Indisputable Case of Matrix Effects in Blood Alcohol Determinations
Kevin A. Schug reveals the major method validation protocol deficiencies he discovered when he reviewed a blood alcohol investigation and discusses how matrix effects possibly resulted in blood alcohol concentrations being over-estimated, resulting in a potentially significant injustice.
Seal Your Sample Vials with Confidence
The security of your samples requires proper sealing to eliminate sample to sample variance that occurs with improperly tightened vials. Using Thermo Scientific™ SureStop™ 9 mm vials and Advanced Vial Closure System (AVCS) closures, vials seal and perform like crimp top vials, with the versatility and convenience of screw thread vials.

Systematic toxicological analysis (STA) is an important step in medicolegal investigations of death, poisoning, and drug use. The primary goal is the detection and confirmation of potentially toxic compounds in evidence. This article describes a workflow using non-targeted liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for reliable compound identification.
