Controlled Drug Analysis
Royal Society of Chemistry (Verlag)
9781788015349 (ISBN)
Development of new techniques and methods for analysis of controlled substances brings a different way of considering drug analysis, which is articulated for the first time in this new text. In addition to a modern treatment of the widely known drugs (e.g. cannabis, heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, ring substituted amphetamines) and pharmaceuticals which are used as recreational drugs (e.g. barbiturates, benzodiazepines), the book considers prominent drug classes that have not yet received systematic treatment in a textbook (for example synthetic cannabinoids, piperazines, cathinones, fentanyls). Aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate taught programmes, the book includes methods for drug analysis and comparison using physical, biologically based, comparative and numerical techniques. It will also serve as a reference point for research students and practising forensic scientists. It introduces statistical methods for drug sample comparison and the appropriateness of some of the statistical techniques for drug analysis and examines their use. It also considers newly developed analytical methods and significant legislative changes.
Aimed at academics delivering forensic science courses in particular, it could also be used by chemistry, biochemistry, criminalistics, criminology and law, and policing students on MSc forensic science courses, and postgraduate research candidates.
In 2001, Michael Cole joined Anglia Ruskin University as Professor of Forensic Science and Head of the Department of Forensic Science. At the time he was the youngest full Professor of Forensic Science in the world. Mike became Deputy Dean for Research and External Income in the Faculty of Science and Technology in 2014. Mike's research interests include drug chemistry, drug profiling and comparison, drug toxicity and the development of analytical techniques for novel psychoactive substances. Mike has over 150 journal publications, conference presentations, books, book chapters and other outputs related to forensic science. Lata Gautam obtained a PhD in Forensic Science in 2007 from Anglia Ruskin University. She also holds an MSc and BSc from Tribhuvan University, Nepal. She has worked in the Toxicology & Chemistry Unit and the Biology & Serology Unit at the National Forensic Science Laboratory, Nepal, where she analysed forensic case samples. Lata’s areas of expertise and interest lie in drug binding to hair components (melanin, keratin), drug analysis of biological samples (blood, urine) and alternative matrices (hair, nail, saliva). She is interested in research work involving chromatographic, spectrometric and spectroscopic techniques. Agatha Grela obtained her PhD in chemistry in 2015 from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow. Before joining Anglia Ruskin University, she worked at a forensic toxicology lab in Poland where she analysed evidence including suspected street drugs and biological samples (blood and urine). Currently, as a postdoctoral researcher, she is using her expertise as an analytical chemist in a project on the simultaneous gas chromatographic–mass spectrometry based analysis of drugs associated with drug facilitated sexual assaults from spiked drinks.
