Despite its importance, extraction in toxicology faces several challenges:
Matrix Complexity: Biological samples contain numerous compounds that can interfere with the extraction process. Low Concentrations: Detecting toxins present at low concentrations requires highly sensitive extraction techniques. Sample Preparation: Preparing samples for extraction can be time-consuming and requires precise handling to avoid contamination. Method Selection: Choosing the appropriate extraction method can be challenging due to the wide variety of available techniques and the specific requirements of each analysis.
