Forensic DUID
You receive a lab report in your client’s case reflecting substances found in the blood sample drawn after their arrest.
What do the amounts mean?
Is the lab reporting an active or inactive metabolite?
Does the lab report reflect free drug?
Is the amount reported an intoxicating amount?
What is the most current research on the drug reported and human performance?

Course Description & Schedule
The DUID course focuses on the analysis of biological fluids (blood, urine, hair, oral fluid) for drugs of abuse. As the name implies, it focuses on DUID from the alleged motorist’s point of view. The course includes one full day of instrumental analysis on the qualitative and quantitative analysis. Two days will be spent on pharmacology – both the time course of the drug in the body (pharmacokinetics) and the drugs impact on psychomotor function (pharmacodynamics). This course involves the hands-on use of instruments and actual processing of biological samples.
