Serum Laboratory Studies, Stool Test, Breath Test

Gastrointestinal (GI) diagnostic studies are pivotal in confirming, ruling out, diagnosing, or staging various diseases, including cancers. Following diagnosis, allocating time for discussions with the patient and providing informational resources is crucial. Diagnostic assessments of the GI tract often occur in outpatient settings like endoscopy suites or GI labs. Preparation for these tests may include dietary restrictions, fasting, liquid bowel preparations, laxatives, enemas, and the...

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Science
  • Toxicology
  • Law Enforcement

Background:

  • Oral fluid offers advantages over traditional blood samples for drug testing in driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) cases.
  • Ease of collection and rapid results make oral fluid a practical alternative for law enforcement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To detail the implementation and analytical methods of New York State Police's (NYSP) statewide evidentiary oral fluid program.
  • To present data from a pilot study and the first year of casework involving oral fluid analysis for DUID investigations.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 201 paired oral fluid-blood samples during a nine-month pilot study.
  • Implementation of statewide evidentiary oral fluid testing by NYSP in July 2024.
  • Detailed description of analytical methods for oral fluid and blood testing used by NYSP Forensic Investigation Center.

Main Results:

  • A 96% overall correlation rate between oral fluid and blood samples was observed.
  • Oral fluid detected additional positives not found in blood, including 21 6-acetylmorphine (heroin metabolite) positives.
  • In the first year, 703 oral fluid samples (27% of total) were submitted, indicating increasing adoption.

Conclusions:

  • Evidentiary oral fluid testing is a valuable and increasingly adopted tool for DUID investigations.
  • The NYSP program demonstrates a successful model for implementing oral fluid analysis in forensic casework.
  • This approach can serve as a resource for other agencies seeking to enhance their DUID testing capabilities.
