How they detect poisons
One of the purposes of Forensic toxicology is to find out the cause of death and weather poisons where used. There is lots of ways to find out the different types of poisonings, the process that we will talk about is the ways to indicate if there poisons in the body.
Screening test is a way where the technician can easily check for many drugs and poisons. Chemical mixtures can be easily broken down into their own parts, using a thing called chromatography. A liquid sample gets put into a heat injection port where it gets vaporized the carried on a stream of gas through a column. Different parts of the chemical mixture travel in separate speeds through a liquid column and emerge at special times are shown as peaks on an active strip. The statistics show the amount of each particular substance in a sample. The method above checks for any categories of drugs, poison and alcohol in a victim’s body system.
This is the primary test; tests after this one will be taken to identify the clear cause of death.
