The undetected murder? Evaluation and validation of a practicable and rapid inductively coupled plasma‐mass spectrometry method for the detection of arsenic, lead, and thallium intoxications in postmortem blood

An ICP-MS method was developed using a modified acidic workup for the quantitative determination of arsenic, lead, and thallium in…

Isolation and characterization of synthesis intermediates and side products in hexahydrocannabiphorol

A commercially purchased hexahydrocannabiphorol (HHCP) sample for recreational use was analyzed by GC-MS. In addition to the declared (9R)- and…

The analysis of methylamphetamine and para‐hydroxy‐methylamphetamine in post‐mortem hair samples using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry

We present an analytical method for the determination of methylamphetamine (MA), amphetamine, and para-hydroxy-methylamphetamine (p-OH-MA) in hair. Concentrations of p-OH-MA…

Techniques for improving the specificity of sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay‐based drug screening

ELISA kits can be modified to improve assay specificity. These techniques allow false-positive results to be excluded, reducing the number…

Doping control of estra‐4,9‐diene‐3,17‐dione in horses

This paper describes the doping control of dienedione in horses. An in vivo metabolism study and the elimination of dienedione…

Doping control analysis of myo‐inositol trispyrophosphate and 10 bisphosphonates in equine plasma by ion chromatography–mass spectrometry and its application to clodronic acid horse administration

Bisphosphonates and myo-inositol trispyrophosphate (ITPP) are two classes of difficult-to-detect polar drugs that are prohibited under the rules of racing.…

The effect of incidental ethanol exposures on the formation of blood phosphatidylethanol

Accumulating evidence and international consensus support a 20 μg/L phosphatidylethanol (PEth) cutoff to distinguish abstinence from ethanol consumption. Little research…

Confirmation of ethanol administration in racing greyhounds by LC‐MS‐MS

Ethanol causes depression of the central nervous system and its use in professional animal racing must be controlled due to…
