Major advances in analytical toxicology followed the introduction of spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques. Thin layer chromatography remains important together with some spectrophotometric and other tests. However, gas and high-performance liquid chromatography together with variety of enzyme immunoassay techniques are now widely used. Advanced Instrumentation techniques that include UPLC and its hyphenated systems with MS ,UHPLC and its hyphenated systems with MS, GC and its hyphenated systems with MS, headspace and FID. Analytical Toxicology being emerging as an emergency critical care service, these analytical techniques are to be used for better patient care in diagnosis and treatment of various poisoned victims.
