Abstract: | This review focuses on possible pitfalls in hair testing procedures. Knowledge of such pitfalls is useful when developing
and validating methods, since it can be used to avoid wrong results as well as wrong interpretations of correct results. In
recent years, remarkable advances in sensitive and specific analytical techniques have enabled the analysis of drugs in alternative
biological specimens such as hair. Modern analytical procedures for the determination of drugs in hair specimens—mainly by
gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS)—are reviewed and critically
discussed. Many tables containing information related to this topic are provided. |
