Several analytical methods are employed in quantitative toxicology, including:
Chromatography: Techniques like gas chromatography (GC) and liquid chromatography (LC) are used to separate and quantify toxic substances. Mass Spectrometry: Often coupled with chromatography, this technique helps in identifying and measuring the exact mass of compounds. Spectroscopy: Techniques like UV-Vis, IR, and NMR spectroscopy are used for quantification and structural elucidation of toxins. Immunoassays: These are used for the detection and quantification of specific proteins or toxins using antibodies.
