Triple A Forensics was established in March 2008 to provide an independent Consultancy Service for companies, academic institutions and individuals engaged in activities associated with analytical science and forensic science.

Peter Ashton, Alex Allan and Bob Ardrey, the principals of Triple A Forensics, have a wide range of experience as experts in toxicology and the analysis of drugs of abuse in both casework, from prosecution and defence perspectives, and civil litigation, and also in research  and development environments. We act as expert witnesses for the review of scientific reports and statements and regularly appear in court. We also provide introductory courses on various aspects of forensic science to the legal profession and to forensic scientists.

We have considerable experience in the application of analytical methodologies, particularly mass spectrometry and chromatography, to a wide range of  problems and undertake both short-term and long-term research and development in these areas. In addition we are able to provide advice on instrument evaluation and purchase.

We have delivered  bespoke training courses in mass spectrometry and chromatography for a number of years and contribute to a number of forensic science courses at universities in the UK. Further details of our training activities may be found on the "Company Activities" page of this web site.

Our publications include a book on LC-MS, published by John Wiley and Sons  in 2003, and we are currently preparing a textbook on mass spectrometry for the same publishers which is due to appear early in 2011.

The "Current Topics" page contains a number of articles in which we review subjects which we hope will be of relevance and interest to users of this site. If there are any further topics that you feel would be useful additions please let us know.
