Identification and validated quantification of drugs of abuse, medicaments and their metabolites in blood and hair using liquid chromatographic : tandem mass spectrometric techniques in forensic toxicology and therapeutic drug monitoring

Abstract

In forensic toxicology analytical challenges are daily routine. For the presented work showcase analytes have been chosen covering some parts of the broad spectrum in forensic toxicology. The work focused on the role of LC-MS/MS in forensic toxicology for answering questions in forensic toxicology as well as in therapeutic drug monitoring. As biological matrices blood plasma and hair, as alternative matrix, were chosen.
