Описание: Due to the increasing deaths caused by fentanyl and its analogs, there is an increasing need to structurally identify the specific compounds encountered. As soon as unknown analogs are identified and regulated new analogs quickly appear on the street. This research illustrates a novel identification workflow utilizing GC-HRMS (gas chromatography high resolution mass spectrometry) to identify 150 fentanyl analogs using a GC-qTOF.

Kirk received his B.S. in Forensic Science and Chemistry from Eastern Kentucky University in 1983 and began working as a Forensic Drug Chemist in the Miami Valley Regional Crime Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio and as a Forensic Toxicologist for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. In 1990 Kirk left the forensic realm and began his tenure with Hewlett Packard/Agilent Technologies, working as a Customer Support Engineer (CE) supporting the LC, GC, LCMS, GCMS, and ICPMS products. In 2003, Kirk earned his M.S. in Chemistry from Middle Tennessee State University and in 2005 Kirk left Agilent Technologies to attend the University of Cincinnati and earned his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry under Dr. Joseph Caruso. After receiving his Ph.D., Kirk was employed by the Midwest Research Institute (MRI) in Kansas City, MO where he worked as a Principal Chemist and Sr. Program Manager on Department of Defense projects, staffing, designing, and building remote laboratories for deployments throughout the world. In April of 2014, Kirk re-joined Agilent Technologies as an Applications Scientist for the GC/MS product lines.
