Mass spectrometry has long been a vital tool for forensic toxicology, but its constant evolution is continually improving its ability to offer more detailed insights in criminal cases. According to one analysis, the global mass spectrometry market in forensics is expected to reach USD 387 million by 2025, accelerating at a CAGR of 11.2% over the forecast period.

This growth can be attributed to the increasing adoption of rapid, non-invasive drug testing techniques over traditional, chemically-based drug detection methods. With more than 800 novel psychoactive substances emerging over the past decade, the challenge for forensic laboratories is not only to detect a wide range of drugs but also to keep up with a constantly changing drug scene.

As such, screenings that leverage high-resolution mass spectrometry can detect known and unknown drugs, enabling forensic laboratories to remain responsive to these ever-evolving challenges. In one such application, Waters Corporation recently hosted a webinar on toxicology screening using high resolution mass spectrometry for forensic cases.

Attendance is free, and the webinar will take place on Thursday, June 11, 2020, at 2:00 pm SGT (Singapore Standard Time) and will feature speaker Vincent Di Fazio, MSc, Forensic Toxicologist at the National Institute of Criminalistics and Criminology.

As society navigates emerging challenges posed by constantly evolving drug scenes, it is imperative to leverage the latest innovations in forensic toxicology to improve the speed, accuracy, and responsiveness of drug detection.

While mass spectrometry has long been an indispensable tool in this field, its latest iterations offer promising new avenues for criminal investigation.

This was further underscored by the anticipated growth of the mass spectrometry market in forensics, which is expected to reach USD 387 million by 2025.

With emerging technologies comes the need for targeted, timely, and informed screenings that can get to the heart of criminal matters with speed and precision.
