What Analytical Methods are Used?

Forensic toxicologists employ various analytical methods to identify and quantify toxic substances. These methods include:
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS): A powerful technique for separating and identifying complex mixtures of chemicals.
Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS): Similar to GC-MS but used for substances that are not volatile or thermally stable.
Immunoassays: Rapid screening methods that use antibodies to detect specific drugs or toxins.
Spectrophotometry: Measures the amount of light absorbed by a sample to identify and quantify substances.
