The interplay of detection and identification equipment - from papers and gas meters to FTIR, Raman, and mass spectrometry - comes into clear focus in this hands-on workshop. We will examine the effect of chemical class, concentration, and the complexity of mixtures on detection and identification. The contents of your detection toolbox and the capability of the operator often make the difference between success and failure. Come see for yourself what the capabilities and limitations of the different meters are, and how to make sure you don't run into a capability gap on your team.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the importance of accurately using multiple detection and identification technologies when analyzing complex mixtures such as street drugs, abandoned waste, white powders, illicit lab chemicals, and pesticide solutions among many others.
Differentiate between bulk identification and trace analysis of mixtures to find high toxicity hazards such as fentanyl analogs and Novichoks.
Use air monitoring, detection, and identification devices to accurately detect and identify materials at various concentrations and purities.
