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 video is one of five in the Virtual Workshop Series: Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART-MS) for Seized Drug Analysis, which was hosted by the NIJ Forensic Technology Center of Excellence on September 6, 2023.
