What are the Challenges in Using Instrumental Techniques?
Despite their advantages, there are challenges associated with using instrumental techniques in toxicology:
High Cost: The instruments used are often expensive to purchase and maintain. Complexity: Operating these instruments requires significant expertise and training. Sample Preparation: Complex and time-consuming sample preparation steps may be required to obtain accurate results. Sensitivity and Specificity: Some techniques may have limitations in detecting low concentrations of toxicants or differentiating between similar compounds.
