LCGC Interviews

J. Tyler Davidson of the Department of Forensic Science at Sam Houston State University (Huntsville, Texas) used liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–ESI–MS/MS) to structurally characterize 38 nitazene analogs and propose fragmentation mechanisms that generate diagnostic product ions for analog differentiation. LCGC International spoke to Davidson about his work, and the paper that resulted from it.
