Randox Toxicology will be hosting an educational workshop, presenting a number of scientific posters and showcasing their comprehensive range of forensic drug screening solutions at booth no. 303, allowing attendees to learn more about our latest product developments.

The joint meeting is in association with two high profile associations; The Society of Forensic Toxicologists (SOFT) and The International Association of Forensic Toxicologists (TIAFT) - both long standing bodies in the forensic toxicology community. It is predicted that the event will be attended by over one thousand international members, offering opportunities to network, exchange information, attend educational workshops and source laboratory solutions. Attending SOFT and TIAFT members are made up of toxicologists, scientists, laboratory managers, technicians, medical examiners, coroners, attorneys and researchers in the field of forensic toxicology.   

The Randox Toxicology workshop; The Evolution of Immunoassay Drug Testing with multiplex Biochip Array Technology aims to educate attendees on optimising laboratory resources and improving workflow through the implementation of multiplex Biochip Array Technology. Key themes include testing in alternative forensic matrices and high throughput immunoassay screening ofsynthetic cannabinoids and other designer drugs on a fully automated system. Forensic toxicologist, Dr Ashraf Mozayani from Harris County Forensic Science Institute and Forensic Science PhD student, Poppy McLaughlin from Bournemouth University (UK) will present studies that have been carried out utilising Biochip Array Technology. Those wishing to attend the workshop should register online at www.randox.com/SOFT/scientific-program.php as there are a limited number of spaces. 

Conference attendees should not miss out on the chance to visit the Randox Toxicology booth no. 303 in the exhibit hall, where their complete range of forensic toxicology products will be on display. With applications for a wide range of settings, there is a solution for everyone. Visitors to the booth will have the opportunity to enter a competition to win an Apple iPad 2, which will be drawn after the event.
