Forensic Toxicologists have long struggled with the problem of analyzing drugs in tissue samples. In a paper published in Journal of Analytical Toxicology scientists at U Mass Memorial Hospital have shown how SPE can be used to solve this issue. Employing UCT's Clean Screen DAU SPE columns, the UMass team was able to show that successful analysis over a wide range of drugs can be performed on tissue homogenates in post-mortem cases. Clean Screen DAU columns are famously recognized for use in the isolation of drugs in urine and blood. This paper demonstrates their applicability to tissue specimens too.
