A comprehensive review of the science of drug testing in all its aspects, placing emphasis on technologies that use body fluids other than urine for determining the presence of drugs of abuse. The authors discuss the various body fluid specimens suitable for testing for illicit drugs-particularly saliva, sweat, and hair-describe the structural and manufacturing aspects of on-site testing devices based on lateral flow immunoassay, and detail the pitfalls of using these specimens. They also discuss in detail the problem of sample adulteration and its detection. Since oral fluid has the best potential of succeeding urine as the next matrix of choice for drug detection, four popular saliva testing devices are examined: Intercept®, the Drager Drug Test®, Oratect®, and Drugwipe. Political, social, and legal issues are also considered in articles on privacy, the use of drug testing in courts, and the problem of sample adulteration.

This practical manual and standard reference work provides the definitive source of analytical data for drugs and poisons. It is intended for use primarily by scientists faced with identifying and quantifying these substances in body fluids, tissue samples and pharmaceutical and industrial products. The completely revised and expanded third edition of Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons has been written by over 40 international experts, and also boosts an editorial advisory board of over 45 world renowned scientists. The new edition of Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons now comprises two volumes, housed in a durable slipcase. Volume one contains 31 chapters by leading international scientists covering the practice areas and analytical procedures used in analytical toxicology. Volume two contains 1737 drug and poison monographs detailing physical properties, analytical methods, pharmacokinetic data and toxicology data. Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons is an essential requirement for all forensic and crime laboratories, toxicologists, clinical pharmacology departments, poison information centres, pathologists, clinical toxicologists, hospital pharmacists and analytical chemists. Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons was previously published as Clarke's Isolation and Identification of Drugs.
