An Analysis of the Prevalence of Xylazine in Overdose Cases in Miami-Dade County
Xylazine is a veterinary sedative that is becoming an increasingly popular cutting agent in fentanyl samples. This combination of drugs is commonly referred to as “Traq”. Xylazine is not approved for use in humans, so it is not fully understood how xylazine contributes to overdose deaths. To gain insight into its prevalence in overdose cases,…
Development and Validation of a Multi-drug Analysis for Hair
A single sample preparation and instrument method was developed for the analysis of 54 analytes in hair. Analytes in the panel included drug of abuse, synthetic opioids, and ethyl glucuronide. Hair is an alternative matrix used in forensic toxicology due to its longer detection window. The matrix is also more stable, does not require refrigerated…
UCT Specialty Chemical cited in Monolithic Chromatography Study
Monolithic materials are versatile adsorbents widely employed in separation science, sample preparation and as supports for flow through applications (e.g. heterogeneous catalysis, ion-exchange, solid-phase extraction, etc). Interest around their preparation and applications has been steadily on the rise. In a recent paper published in Journal of Chromatography A ((2017) 498 46-55) by Patrizia Simonea et al., UCT’s specialty chemical N-trimethoxysilylpropyl)-polyethylenimine was employed in the production of capillary methacrylate-based monoliths. This process was executed by grafting from/to ƴ -ray polymerization on a tentacle-type reactive surface for the liquid chromatographic separations of small molecules and intact proteins.
