Topic: Results from an Interlaboratory Study to Evaluate Analytical Schemes in ASTM E2329-17 - Standard Practice for Identification of Seized Drugs

Date:
Thursday, November 7 at 1:00pm EST

Featured Speakers:
ASCLD Past President Jeremy Triplett and Dr. Jeff Salyards, CSAFE

The Organization of Scientific Area Committees for Forensic Science (OSAC), sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), recently joined the Scientific Working Group for the Analysis of Seized Drugs (SWGDRUG) effort to vet existing standards and promote the development of additional consensus-based documentary standards for seized drugs. An important recommendation developed by SWGDRUG is the minimum standard for identifying commonly seized drugs related to the selection of analytical technique(s), which was formally developed into ASTM E2329.

ASCLD Past President Jeremy Triplett and Dr. Jeff Salyards will present results from an important interlaboratory study evaluating existing analytical approaches to analysis of seized drugs and important recommendations by SWGDRUG for minimum standards based on empirical data.
