Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The goal of this study was to consider whether formalin-fixed human tissues for pathological examination were useful as substitutes for conventional specimens in toxicological analysis. As a first step, we developed UPLC-MS/MS analytical methods to simultaneous analysis for 60 drugs. Some psychotropic drugs were markedly depleted to varying degrees in formalin-fixed porcine liver homogenates. In forensic practice case, the drug was detected in formalin-fixed tissues, only if the concentration of the drug in blood was significantly high. It was suggested that in forensic practice formalin-fixed organs was partially useful for toxicological examination.
