“…Reviews on the use of TLC (256) and HPLC (256,257) in forensic toxicology have been published as well as reviews in the use of bonded-phase columns (258), RIA (259), and fluorescence techniques (260). Applications of the use of HPLC in forensic science have appeared (261)(262)(263) as well as forensic applications in the use of LC/MS (264), MS (265) X-ray diffraction (266), and Fourier transformed infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy (267). A rapid, sensitive tandem MS/MS technique has been described for the screening and confirmation of trace amounts of drugs and metabolites in blood serum (268).…”
