متن کاملForensic toxicology.
Forensic toxicology is a discipline of analytical toxicology dedicated to toxicological problems of forensic relevance, for example driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or postmortem toxicology. High-quality analytical methods for identification and quantification of drugs, poisons, and/or their metabolites in complex matrices, for example body fluids or hair, are very important in ...
متن کاملProfiles in Forensic Toxicology
The name of Erik Widmark is tightly linked with quantitative studies of absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of ethanol and the introduction of statutory BAC limits for driving. Alcohol is the psychoactive substance most often encountered in forensic casework when toxicologists investigate unnatural deaths (post-mortem cases), crimes involving drug-facilitated sexual assaul...
متن کاملPitfalls in forensic toxicology.
The word `forensic' simply means `to do with courts of law' and, as far as toxicology and biochemistry laboratories are concerned, embraces everything which has or might have legal implications. Some of the work in which the biochemistry department becomes involved is obviously `forensic' but this may not be apparent at the time of receipt of the request; this is the ®rst pitfall. Toseland high...
متن کاملEvaluation of an onsite alcohol testing device for use in postmortem forensic toxicology.
The disposable QED saliva alcohol test provides a very simple, fast, and reliable means for quantitative onsite alcohol detection. The purpose of this study was to determine if the QED test would be a useful tool for the determination of postmortem ethanol levels in cases where a rapid result was needed. QED results were compared with ethanol levels determined by headspace GC analysis. Both sal...
