They were assisted by two other outstanding lawyers who work with the Gerry Spence Trial College Kimberly Benjamin from Missouri and Franciso Durate<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0from Washington State. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Gas Chromatography separates the elements of a compound for analysis by a forensic scientist. \u00a0What happens is the machine takes an element and transforms it into the gas phase for analysis. \u00a0The machine then determines what type of substance is being analyzed by the retention time. As part of our work in the lab, we created standards; these standards are used so that there is a known solution that is put into the machine that comes out at a specific time. \u00a0The unknown standard is then compared to the known standard that are prepared in the laboratory.<\/p>\n<p>Liquid Chromatography is also another type of separation analysis where the compounds are turned into a liquid instead of a gas. \u00a0Liquid Chromatography allows for greater depth of analysis as some compounds cannot be transformed into a gas phase; the use of liquid chromatography is the most accurate way to detect drugs in the blood steam.<\/p>\n<div class=\"read_more_link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.delsignoredefense.com\/blog\/national-dui-colleges-serious-science-seminar-combines-science-and-advocacy-highly-recommend-it\/\"  title=\"Continue Reading National DUI College&#8217;s Serious Science Seminar an exceptional educational event for lawyers, combining science and advocacy\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading \u203a<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With an increase in OUI drugs arrests in Massachusetts, Massachusetts OUI Lawyers can expect to see an increase in OUI drugs arrests. \u00a0In serious case, there is likely to be forensic testing of blood for drugs. \u00a0In OUI alcohol cases, typically a suspect will be asked to take a breath test. \u00a0In case involving, injuries [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1551","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-trial-techniques-for-lawyers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>National DUI College&#039;s Serious Science Seminar an exceptional educational event for lawyers, combining science and advocacy &#8212;
