Title and Description
Non-targeted screening in forensics, a discussion of method development and screening of forensic samples using GCXGC-TOFMS

Joining us from William and Mary, Dr. Katelynn A. Perrault Uptmor, PI of the Nontargeted Separations Laboratory , present her work of screening samples using comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GCXGC-TOFMS) in forensic applications as novel types of evidence appear. Dr. Perrault Uptmor highlights initial approaches to method development for new samples and show recent applications related to chemical profiling of deposited fingermarks, organic gunshot residue and decomposition odor. She also discusses the implications of GCXGC-TOFMS sample visualization in the context of expert testimony for communicating screening processes in forensic casework within the courtroom.

Food Safety: A Journey Beyond the MOSH&MOAH Hump in Food Determination

The current analytical method for the quantitative determination of Mineral Oil Saturated Hydrocarbons (MOSH) and Mineral Oil Aromatic Hydrocarbons (MOAH) is LC-GC-FID, but the chromaticagraphic profile obtained is too often just a hump of unresolved substances. However, GCxGC-TOFMS/FID is the most promising solution to characterize MOSH and MOAH in detail and to detect markers that can help identify and act on the source of contamination. Giorgia Purcaro [University of Liege] will introduce the challenges of MOSH/MOAH analysis and talk about what adding a GCxGC-TOFMS analysis to your process can do for your results.
