DOI: 10.1016/j.forsciint.2017.07.006
Abstract: Drug concentrations in postmortem blood samples can differ considerably, depending on the sample site - a phenomenon named postmortem redistribution. In this study, blood samples from 48 cases of suspected intoxications were collected during autopsy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/jat/bkab065
Abstract: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning presents an interesting challenge for postmortem toxicology laboratories. The discontinuation of the Co-Oximeter manufactured by Instrumentation Laboratories (IL) has left many forensic laboratories without this simple but reliable choice for the… read more here.
