Retention Time of Four Common Poisons （Drugs） by GC-MS Qualitative Analysis
1School of Forensic Medicine, Shanxi Medical University, Taiyuan 030001, China.
Objectives:
To investigate the maximum allowable deviation of retention time （RT） or relative retention time （RRT） between the common poisons （drugs） and standard solvent by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry （GC-MS）.
Methods:
After pretreatment with liquid-liquid extraction, four common poisons （drugs）-dichlorvos, phorate, diazepam and estazolam-were detected by full scan mode GC-MS. RT and RRT were analyzed according to combined uncertainty and expanded uncertainty.
Results:
The expanded uncertainty of RT and RRT were 6.0×10-4-14.1×10-3 and 2.5×10-6-5.9×10-5 （k=3）, respectively. The RT of poisons （drugs） was relatively stable in blood samples with different mass concentrations. Among dichlorvos, phorate, diazepam and estazolam, the absolute deviation and relative deviation of RT were ≤0.03 min and ≤0.4%, respectively, and those of RRT were ≤0.003 min and ≤0.3%, respectively.
Conclusions:
The maximum allowable deviations of RT and RRT for common poisons （drugs） in blood samples are recommended to be ±0.05 min and ±0.5%.

Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
