Description
Clarke''s Analysis of Drugs and Poisons is the definitive source of analytical data for drugs and poisons. Written by over 40 international experts, the resource also boasts an editorial advisory board of over 45 world renowned scientists. This reference work has been completely revised and updated for the new edition, and comprises two volumes. The book is essential for all forensic and clinical toxicologists, pathologists, hospital pharmacists, pharmaceutical analysts, clinical pharmacologists, clinical and forensic laboratories, and poison information centres.
Table of contents
Volume one, part one: methodology and analytical techniques - Contains 44 chapters by leading international scientists covering the practice areas and analytical procedures used in toxicology. Volume two, parts two and three: analytical and toxicological data. Contains 2111 drug and poison monographs detailing physical properties, analytical methods, pharmacokinetic data and toxicity data. Part four: Indexes to analytical data. This part contains indexes of analytical data, including all data for colour tests, chromatography, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, infrared spectrometry and mass spectrometry.
Review quote
Randall C. Baselt, Ph.D., Journal of Forensic Science, 2011. "This continues to be an invaluable reference for pharmaceutical scientists, clinical and forensic toxicologists and environmental chemists...Both the number of substances discussed in the monograph section and the depth of information presented are quite impressive." Dimitri Gerostamoulos, TIAFT Bulletin 41(2), 2011. "Pathologists, clinicians, lawyers and students will find the new Clarke engaging, systematic in its approach and daunting in the massive amount of information provided. It is not until you become accustomed with the layout and logical style of the book that one appreciates the thought that has gone into producing this excellent and essential reference. No toxicologist should be without one!" Gerhard K.E. Scriba, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Jena, Chromatographia, 10 July 2011. "The work provides a compilation and easy access to analytical data for numerous compounds that can give an overview without the need of an extensive database search. This is especially true for data of older compounds that cannot be easily found elsewhere...the reader is provided with substantial information making the work an incomparable reference book in drug analysis."
Flap / cover copy
Clarke’s Analysis of Drugs and Poisons is the definitive source of analytical data for drugs and poisons. This reference work has been completely revised and updated for the new edition, and comprises two volumes. Volume 1 has been greatly expanded from 31 to 44 chapters, providing extensive coverage of all methodology and analytical techniques. Of significant interest: • Quality control and assessment – separated into two chapters to reflect the differing situations of the toxicology laboratory versus the pharmaceutical industry (accreditation with ISO17025 becoming the international standard in labs as of October 2010) • Method development and validation – new to this edition since reliable analytical techniques and data should be of the utmost importance to any analyst • ‘Sampling, storage and stability’, ‘Measuring and reporting uncertainty’ and ‘Interpretation of results’ now included to cover all aspects of accreditation • Pharmacokinetics now coupled with Pharmacogenomics. Volume 2 now contains: • Over 2100 monographs detailing physical properties, analytical methods, pharmacokinetic data, ultraviolet, infrared and mass spectra, and therapeutic and toxicit
