Bath Salt Characterization using the Tekmar HT3 Headspace Analyzer and GC/MS

With chemists engineering new “designer drugs” everyday, law enforcement and regulatory bodies need testing to quickly and accurately determine the composition of these compounds. This study will present a static headspace method for rapidly determining drug components for use in forensic applications. A Teledyne Tekmar HT3 Headspace Analyzer will be used to examine bath salt samples for the presence of mephedrone (MPD) and methylenedioxypyrovalerone (MPDV or MDPK) by GC/MS.
