POSTER TEMPLATE BY: Forensic Toxicology: Where to Look: A Work in Progress Neeka Parker, Department of Biological Sciences, College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Mentor: Andrea Kirk, Honors College Abstract Identification and quantification of drugs and other substances present in corpses can be used to determine the cause and manner of death. However, the levels of these substances in blood and other bodily fluids change as the time since death increases. To accurately interpret the results of most analyses, the time since death must be known to some degree of certainty. Some research has been done on concentrations of certain drugs in brain tissue. If a location can be found where the concentration does not change or changes only slightly with time, the time since death would not have to be known to accurately quantify concentrations. I am interested in researching where the most accurate concentrations of some of these substances at the time of death can be found. Right now I am reviewing relevant literature with the aim of refining my topic. Possible Samples Review of Other Research Commonly abused drugs and their derivatives Heroin, Cocaine, morphine, and dihydrocodeine Analytical Methods Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) High performance (or pressure) liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) Photoionization detection (PID) Techniques for acquiring samples Methods for detecting clandestine methamphetamine labs Considerations for determination of postmortem ethanol concentration Analysis complicated by the possibility of postmortem ethanol production Various pathways have been examined and products noted Taking samples from femoral veins in conjunction with urine from the bladder or vitreous humor is best Ratio of the concentration of ethanol in urine or vitreous to the concentration in blood is usually a good indicator of postmortem production 1-propanol and 1-butanol are also good indicators of postmortem ethanol production Non-oxidative metabolites indicate ante-mortem ethanol consumption Three Mass Spectra Theobromine GC-MS Theory Reference List Acknowledgments Beyer, Jochen, Olaf H.

This is due to their different attractions to the mobile and stationary phases. A mass spectrometer is often coupled with a other analytical equipment (such as HPLC) that separates matrix components. An MS identifies analytes according to the mass/charge ratio
