Description
Clarke’s Analytical Forensic Toxicology focuses on the collection, extraction and analysis of drugs and poisons that readers are most likely to encounter in forensic toxicology. The second edition has been fully updated to reflect advances in analytical and forensic toxicology.
New and extended chapters include:
- sampling, storage and stability
- in-utero exposure to drugs of abuse
- drug-facilitated sexual assault
- extraction.
