| TOXICOLOGY |
Unless specified otherwise, urine is the preferred sample
for toxicological investigations.
Other useful samples are whole blood, fresh or frozen liver, and stomach
contents. |
Samples may be frozen for storage and transportation.
Please contact the lab before sending samples. |
Poisons screen: Strychnine,
warfarin/coumarins, barbiturates, paraquat, metaldehyde.
This profile has been developed to investigate suspected poisonings and
includes the most commonly incriminated poisons for a fixed price. |
|
Analysis for individual toxins
For specific toxins please contact the laboratory. |
