Tematika

The course provides knowledge about the traceability of active pharmaceutical ingredients in various biological matrices. It discusses sampling of biological matrices, sample preparation (extraction) methods [LLE, SPE, SPEC, SPME, MEPS], and various chromatographic techniques [TLC, GC, LC] as well.

The course intends to present the CNS effects of active pharmaceutical ingredients, as well as drugs in the official investigation. The sampling procedures and techniques are presented, as well as their official confidence circumstances.

The appearance of drug compounds and drugs in biological matrices, and their pharmacokinetic properties are discussed, as well as traceability of live and corpse biological matrices (blood, urine, hair, nails, saliva, or liver, kidney, brain, or cerebrospinal fluid).

After proper selection of analytical tests, the requirements set for a variety of measuring instruments will be discussed. Standard evaluation and communication, as well as the laws and regulations in force in the analytical results complete the course topics.
