ABSTRACT
The term “headspace” is defined as the vapor that forms above or around a liquid or solid sample in a closed container. Usually, the vapor is above the liquid or solid at the top of the container, hence the term headspace. Headspace sampling is a method for separating volatile materials that may be extracted from a more solid sample matrix and then analyzed using gas chromatography. Headspace extraction refers to the collection and analysis of the vapor phase in the container. The Static Headspace Extraction – Gas Chromatography (SHE-GC) technique has been used since the early days of Gas …

Capstone Projects/Undergraduate Honors Theses
There are numerous existing techniques for forensic toxicological testing, but each one has limitations. Although there have been significant improvements in these techniques over the past 10 years, it still remains very difficult to successfully identify a wide range of drugs from one sample using a single method [12]. This difficulty arises from the major differences in molecular structure, volatility and stability in solution between these drugs. The overall goal of this study is to develop a method using gas chromatography (GC) coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC/MS/MS) to separate and accurately identify 10 different drugs of abuse from …
