Abstract:
Toxicological diagnosis in cases of intoxication with psychoactive substances known in clinical and forensic toxicology requires appropriate laboratory studies. The paper pertains evaluation of the currently employed techniques of quantitative and qualitative analysis of psychoactive substances in a biological material. Usefulness of the most frequently applied screening (immunochemical) approaches and the confirmation (physicochemical) techniques was evaluated against the validation criteria, relating to the specificity, detection limit and sensitivity of the discussed substances.
