In recent years, novel synthetic opioids (NSOs) have been detected in drug seizures and in biological samples in the United Kingdom. These compounds are highly potent, and so keeping current with which compounds are in circulation in the illicit drug market in the UK, and how best to detect them in a range of samples is important to inform public health decisions, and to minimise the risk of false negative analyses. This webinar will discuss the analytical considerations for maximising detection of a range of these compounds, including how to attempt to keep ahead of newly-emerging analogues.
