Forensic Chemistry of Emerging Synthetic Drugs – Training Services

Forensic Chemistry of Emerging Synthetic Drugs – Training Services provides specialized training on the identification, analysis, and forensic evaluation of newly developed synthetic drugs and novel psychoactive substances. The course covers chemical structures, pharmacology, metabolism, and toxicological effects of emerging compounds, including synthetic opioids, cannabinoids, cathinones, and other designer substances. Participants will learn analytical techniques such as gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), mass spectrometry (MS), and spectroscopy for precise detection, quantification, and confirmation in biological and seized samples. Emphasis is placed on proper sample collection, contamination prevention, regulatory compliance, and maintaining chain-of-custody for legal proceedings. Case studies highlight real-world applications in criminal investigations, public health monitoring, and forensic toxicology.
