Virtual Workshop Series: Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) for Seized Drug Analysis

Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) is a powerful analytical technique that allows for rapid detection and characterization of a wide range of compounds, including seized drugs. Over the last ten years, the DART- MS has slowly gained in popularity in crime labs due to its ability to provide rapid, reliable results with minimal samples preparation. Despite these advantages, DART-MS remains underutilized due to cost, data interpretation and familiarity with the technology. This workshop provides forensic seized drug practitioners with a thorough understanding of DART-MS to include fundamentals of ambient ionization, data interpretation and seized drug analyses applications. 

This webinar, hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence, was presented in five session. Watch each session below.
