[Screening of drugs and chemicals by wide-bore capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization and nitrogen phosphorus detectors].
A method is presented for forensic toxicological screening of drugs and chemicals in blood and urine by wide-bore capillary gas chromatography with flame ionization detectors (FID) and nitrogen phosphorus detectors (NPD). The presence of drugs and chemicals in blood and urine specimens was confirmed by comparing these gas chromatograms with those of typical drug-free specimens. Peak components of drug-free specimens were piperidone, p-cresol, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid, linoleic acid, n-butylphthalate, bis (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, squalene, cholesterol and two alcohols (unidentified) on FID chromatograms and were piperidone, indole, nicotine, cotinine, hydroxycotinine, caffeine and several unknown urine constituents on NPD chromatograms. In practical cases, the presence of drugs and chemicals in postmortem specimens was easily ascertained by the present method.
