Biography
Ray H. Liu is a professor in the Department of Medical Technology at Fooyin University in Taiwan and professor emeritus in the Department of Justice Sciences at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. Sheng-Meng Wang is a professor of forensic science and director of scientific laboratories at Central Police University in Taiwan. Dennis V. Canfield is the manager of the Bioaeronautical Sciences Research Laboratory at the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s Civil Aerospace Medical Institute (CAMI) in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The information presented in this book is definitely of value to any laboratory engaged in toxicology analysis and the quantification of drugs.
—Maria Reid, Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Canadian Society of Forensic Science, Vol. 43, No. 1, March 2010The book is of obvious utility to those analysts who work in
drug analysis and to those who are confronted occasionally with
a drug-analysis problem. The strategies outlined in this work are
important to anyone who is conducting trace analysis by
chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry.
