Forensic Applications of Mass Spectrometry combines the most current developments in applications of mass spectrometry techniques to forensic analyses. The techniques discussed include:

- capillary-GC/MS

- thermospray-LC/MS

- tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS)

- pyrolysis-GC/MS

- isotope ratio mass spectrometry
The applications include:

- analysis of body fluids and hair for drugs of abuse

- drug testing in sports

- analysis of accelerants in fire debris

- detection of hidden explosives in luggage and mail

- identification of explosives in post-explosion debris

- examination of evidential materials (paints, fibers, synthetic polymers)

- authentication of regulated products (flavoring substances, fruit juices)

- protection of industrial products by isotopic signature
