Capillary Electrophoresis as a New Tool in Forensic Toxicological Analysis
نویسنده
چکیده
The basic aspects of capillary electrophoresis (CE) such as: instrumentation, separation modes and its chief domains of use in forensic analysis are presented. Micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC), capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and chiral separations – the most often used separation modes in drugs analysis – are described. The main directions of development of CE methods in the field of forensic toxicological analysis are described. They are: 1. examination of abused drugs and accompanying compounds in confiscated illegal preparations, 2. analysis of abused drugs in biological samples and 3. determination of other drugs in biological and non-biological material. On the basis of a review of chemical and toxicological literature up to 2000, a variety of examples of CE applications to forensic drugs analysis is given.

Application of Capillary Electrophoresis to Analysis of Tricyclic Psychotropic Drugs
Two separation modes of capillary electrophoresis (CE): capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) were used for toxicological analysis of blood samples and pharmaceutical preparations. These two techniques were tested on commonly used phenothiazines (PHE) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCA), which are drugs of forensic interest. The analyti...

متن کاملEvaluation of Acetonitrile Deproteinisation of the Serum Samples for the Analysis of Drugs in Serum Using Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
Deproteinisation with acetonitrile (along with methanol or other reagents) is a useful and rapid technique in analysis of drugs or their metabolites in human serum. In this paper application of this simple technique in biopharmaceutical analysis using capillary electrophoresis (CE) is evaluated. Some drugs with different ionic and protein binding properties were selected and dissolved in human ...
متن کاملY-STR genetic screening by high-resolution melting analysis.
Currently, the widely used automated capillary electrophoresis-based short tandem repeat (STR) genotyping method for genetic screening in forensic practice is laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and technically challenging in some cases. Thus, new molecular-based strategies for conclusively identifying forensically relevant biological evidence are required. Here, we used high-resolution melti...
