ELISA Cocaine Experiment
To investigate the practicability of the developed LSV for measuring cocaine concentrations in samples. Six samples were prepared by spiking known concentration of cocaine in water. The concentration and recovery percentage of cocaine in spiked samples were analysed using the standard addition method by LSV and ELISA for comparative study. The obtained recoveries for the spiked cocaine using LSV and ELISA are represented in Table 6. As shown in the table, the detection of cocaine using the developed LSV measurements can be a very reliable detection method for unknown cocaine samples. Six measurements for each sample to assess the reproducibility of the detection, recovery percentage shows a range between ± 2.3 to 9.7 % as illustrated in Table

    Direct competitive cocaine immunoassay was performed in a transparent high binding 96 well microtiter plate. Each well was coated with 200 µL of 1mg/L anti-mouse IgG in PBS (phosphate buffered saline, 10 mM sodium dihydrogen phosphate, 70 mM sodium hydrogen phosphate, 145 mM sodium chloride, pH 7.6). The microtiter plate was left over night for shaking at 750 rpm. Therefore, the plate was washed three times with automatic 96-channel plate washer by washing buffer (45 M potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate, 0,375 mM dipotassium phosphate. 1.5 M Potassium sorbate, Tween 20, pH 7.6). Afterwards, 200µL of benzoylecgonine (BEC) antibody diluted in PBS (0.005 µg/mL) was added to each well and incubated for 1 hour with shaking. This step was preceded by three cycles of washing and 100 µL of standards were added to each well.…

    Unjust punishments can occur because of sentencing disparities and wrongful convictions.

Sentencing disparities occur when offenders with similar criminal histories who have committed the same offense receive much different penalties. Data has shown that Hispanics and African Americans have received harsher punishments compared to whites for similar crimes. Wrongful convictions occur when an innocent person is found guilty by either plea or verdict. The development of DNA testing has increased the number of people convicted by juries and later exonerated by science. In 2004 congress passed the Justice for All Act which implemented funds for DNA testing on a backlog of over 300,000 rape kits and other crime-scene evidence. In 1986 the drug crack was a major story in the news. Feeding off the crack fear, Congress pass the Anti-Drug Abuse Act which made the possession of 5 grams or more of crack a mandatory 5 year prison sentence.
