Tim chats with Marthe Vandeputte about the current and potential uses of activity based assays in forensic toxicology. Links to a couple of Marthe's papers on the topic are below: Validation of activity-based screening for synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists in a large set of serum samples In vitro functional characterization of a panel of non-fentanyl opioid new psychoactive substances Contact us at [email protected] Find out more about TIAFT at www.tiaft.org The Toxpod is a production...
