The definitive source of analytical data for drugs and poisons!

Also available on CD-ROM

Previously known as Clarke’s Isolation and Identification of Drugs, 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 boasts an editorial advisory board of over 45 world renowned scientists.

New Features to the Third Edition Include:

• Over 1730 drug monographs—400 new, the rest completely revised
• 31 chapters—14 new, covering all practice areas and analytical procedures used in analytical toxicology
• Mass spectra are now included within the monographs
• Several new useful appendices including CAS numbers, empirical formulae and a therapeutic class index
• Represents the combined knowledge of the analytical and forensic toxicology community
• New easy-to-use 2-volume format, housed in a handy slipcase

Volume One contains 31 chapters by leading international scientists. There are 13 chapters covering the practice areas and analytical procedures used in analytical toxicology.

• Immunoassays, ultraviolet, visible and fluorescence spectrophotometry
• Infra-red, near-infrared, Raman and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
• Mass spectrometry
• Thin-layer, gas and high performance liquid chromatography
• Capillary electrophoresis

An additional 18 chapters deal with the applications of analytical toxicology techniques in areas such as:

• Hospital, forensic and postmortem toxicology
• Alcohol, drugs and driving
• Workplace drug testing
• Analysis of hair and saliva
• Drug abuse in sport
• Therapeutic drug monitoring
• Poisoning by natural toxins
• Volatile substance abuse
• Pesticide poisoning
• Poisoning by metals and anions

Volume Two contains over 1730 drug and poison monographs detailing:
