Cocaine metabolite imaging in fingerprints with Water Cluster SIMS
Detection of drug compounds and their metabolites in natural environments is a critical topic for both forensic and pharmaceutical applications, and requires overcoming some of the limitations in existing microscopic and analytical techniques. Time of Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF SIMS) is a powerful …
Drug detection with high-sensitivity using ToF SIMS
The high attrition rate of pharmaceutical drug compounds adds enormously to the cost of those that make it to market, so there is an urgent and growing need to identify failure at earlier stages of drug development. In order to do so, researchers require as …
