What Technologies are Used in Toxicology Monitoring?
Several technologies are employed in toxicology monitoring, including:
Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS): Used for the detection and quantification of volatile and semi-volatile compounds. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC): Effective for separating, identifying, and quantifying non-volatile compounds. Biosensors: Devices that use biological molecules to detect chemical substances, offering rapid and on-site analysis. Spectrophotometry: Utilized for measuring the intensity of light absorption by substances, aiding in the identification of toxicants. Immunoassays: Biochemical tests that measure the presence of a substance through the use of antibodies.
