Gas Chromatography in Forensic Chemistry

A meeting on the application of gas chromatography to toxicology and forensic chemistry will be held at the Louisiana State Police Training bar­racks in Baton Rouge on Janua ry 31 and February 1, 1963. The meeting is jointly sponsored by the Louisiana State Police crime lab and MicroTek Ins t ruments , Inc.

The meeting will consider the ap ­plications of gas chromatography to the detection of barbi turates , ampheta­mines, and tranquilizers; applications in detecting materials in blood or tis­sue; in identifying flammable igniters, such as gas, diesel fuel, etc., in arson cases; and in the analysis of minute particles of paint .

Interested peace officers throughout the country are invited to a t tend the meeting. More information can be ob­tained by writing Lee Herzberg, Jr . , P . O. Box 2151, Baton Rouge, La.
