Read the review for up-to-date tables of recent methodologies and a detailed analysis of subsequent investigations
This timely review from Carlos Lledo-Fernandez and Craig Banks looks at method development for quantifying and screening drugs of abuse in biological samples. Pharmacokinetic studies on cannabinoids, amphetamines, cocaine, opioids and benzodiazepines in blood, oral fluids, sweat and urine from the last 35 years are included with the authors noting that ‘urine is still the primary matrix employed for the monitoring of drugs of abuse’.
The manuscript will be free until 1st June.
