Analysis of Synthetic Cannabinoids in Urine via Solid Phase Extraction and Liquid Chromatography with Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)
Dickerson, Kristin LeAnn (2016-07-01)Synthetic cannabinoids have emerged as a dangerous new trend in illicit drug use.The appointment of many popular synthetic cannabinoids as Schedule I controlledsubstances has helped to decrease their popularity in recent ... -
Characterization of Cannabinoids in Cannabidiol (CBD) Products
Lopez, McCayla (2019-05-01)The purpose of this research was to determine what cannabinoids other than cannabidiol (CBD) can be found in various CBD products, as well as determine their legality. CBD is federally a Schedule I drug, although CBD ... -
Comparison of Chiral Methamphetamine Separations in Urine
Carlson, Kylene Casey (2018-05-01)Methamphetamine (meth) and amphetamine are commonly abused central nervous system (CNS) stimulants that are frequently screened for in many forensic and clinical toxicology labs. Amphetamine is present as the metabolite ... -
Comparison of High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry with Immunoassay in Qualitative Urine Drug Screening
Fisk, Paige (2019-05-01)Liquid Chromatography Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (LC-TOF) utilizes a high-resolution mass spectrometer and chromatography to identify drugs in urine, based on their exact masses and retention times. The current "gold ... -
Comparison of Hydrolysis Efficiencies of Multiple Beta-Glucuronidase Enzymes
Revelle, Jessica (2018-05-01)In urine drug testing for pain management, dilute and shoot is a common specimen preparation method. Urine contains the parent form of drugs, as well as metabolites. Beta-glucuronidases are enzymes that are used to cleave ... -

Ngo, Minh Trieu (Oklahoma State University, 2010-08-01)The purpose of this study was to develop and validate an analytical method for vinblastine (VBL) and deacetylvinblastine (DVBL) using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). The goal of the study was to ... -
Evaluation of Sweat as an Evidential Specimen in Drug-facilitated Sexual Assault
Robertson, Dana Charles (2016-05-01)Drug-facilitated sexual assault (DFSA) investigations can be hindered by delayed reporting or victim unwillingness to fully participate in a physical examination. In turn, biological evidence collected to prove incapacitation ... -
Method Development for the Detection of Synthetic Cathinones and Investigation of Their Metabolism Using Human Microsomes
Brachtenbach, Travis John (2016-07-01)Abuse of designer drugs such as synthetic cathinones presents a challenge to both medical and forensic experts. Detecting cathinone exposure in humans requires a sensitive, reliable method and treatment involves an ... -
Urine Drug Testing Via Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling Tips
Welch, Katlyn (2018-05-01)Presently, laboratories typically perform urine drug testing with collected urine specimens using the dilute and shoot extraction technique. While the dilute and shoot technique is a functional means of evaluation for ...
