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

Nick Jones will regularly invite key leaders of the NTS space from all industries to present and discuss their groundbreaking work. This series promises not only to delve deeper into the intricacies of non-targeted screening but also to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among experts and enthusiasts alike. Secure your spot now and embark on a journey of discovery in chemical analysis, with each instalments of our monthly webinar series delivering fresh perspectives and invaluable insights.

Presenter: Dr. Katelynn A. Perrault Uptmor (William & Mary, USA)

Dr. Perrault Uptmor, PI of the Nontargeted Separations Laboratory at William and Mary, will present on 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 will detail 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 will further discuss the implications of GCXGC-TOFMS sample visualization in the context of expert testimony for communicating screening processes in forensic casework within the courtroom.
