Why are Spectroscopic Methods Important in Toxicology?
Spectroscopic methods are essential in toxicology for several reasons:
1. Sensitivity and Specificity: These methods offer high sensitivity and specificity, allowing for the detection of trace levels of toxic substances in complex matrices such as biological fluids and tissues.
2. Non-destructive Analysis: Many spectroscopic techniques are non-destructive, preserving samples for further analysis or archival purposes.
3. Rapid Analysis: The fast data acquisition capabilities of spectroscopic methods facilitate real-time monitoring of toxic exposure and rapid response in emergency situations.
