Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons (2 Volume Pack)

"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." Randall C. Baselt, Ph.D., Journal of Forensic Science, 2011. (Randall C. Baselt Journal of Forensic Science)"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!" Dimitri Gerostamoulos, TIAFT Bulletin 41(2), 2011. (Dimitri Gerostamoulos TIAFT Bulletin)"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." Gerhard K.E. Scriba, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, University of Jena, Chromatographia, 10 July 2011. (Gerhard K.E. Scriba Chromatographia) Clarkes 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 toxicity data of drugs and poisons More than 350 new monographs Expanded indexes and appendices include CAS numbers, empirical and molecular formulae, TLC, GC and HPLC systems data, as well as therapeutic class. This book is essential for all forensic and clinical toxicologists, pathologists, hospital pharmacists, pharmaceutical analysts, clinical pharmacologists, clinical and forensic laboratories, and poison information centres.
