This manuscript offers a broad overview of the state of emergency toxicology testing in
clinical laboratories. We summarize the specific challenges of performing emergency …

Sensitive and specific assays are available to detect drugs of abuse at the point of care. This
article describes the characteristics of point-of-care devices for drug-of-abuse testing with a …

BACKGROUND: Point-of-care tests for toxicological screening of patients for drugs of abuse
and therapeutic drugs may be helpful in the emergency department (ED) to assist in a rapid …

Laboratory testing for drugs of abuse has become standard practice in many settings both
forensic and clinical. Urine is the predominant specimen, but other specimens are possible …

Currently, there is need for laboratory-based high-throughput and reliable point-of-care drug
screening methodologies. We demonstrate here a chip-based label-free porous silicon (PSi) …

Aim. Products for on-site urine drug testing offer the possibility to perform screening for drugs
of abuse directly at the point-of-care. This is a well-established routine in emergency and …

Patients taking tricyclic antidepressants (TCA) can experience toxicity or severe side effects.
As a rapid and less technically demanding alternative to quantitative serum analysis, most …

There is a continuing increase in the use of immunological techniques in the field of clinical
toxicology. This is primarily due to the rapidity by which analytical results are now required …

Over the past few decades, a remarkable gamut of increasingly sophisticated technologies
has been employed for the development of drug-testing applications. Recent advancements …
