Synopsis

Identify poisons and drugs with confidence using a practical toxicology lab guide.

This English translation presents a concise, beginner-friendly path through the detection and measurement of common poisons and strong drugs. It organizes substances into three actionable groups and provides procedures that students of medicine and pharmacy can apply in real analyses.

The work is designed as a practical laboratory manual. It explains how to prepare materials, carry out tests, and confirm results with complementary methods. The edition includes updated sections on quantitative estimation of active principles in crude materials, and it integrates biological detection where relevant. Aimed at readers who want reliable, repeatable results, it emphasizes procedures aligned with established pharmacopoeias and standard lab practice. The book also situates methods in a broader toxicology context, from initial screening to final identification.

• Learn the three-group framework for approaching poisons: volatile substances, non-volatile organics, and metals.
• Follow step-by-step tests and solvent choices suitable for common laboratory settings.
• Explore qualitative detection plus quantitative estimation of alkaloids, glucosides, and other drugs in crude materials.
• Find guidance on special tests, bios detection, and practical lab organization for toxicologic analysis.

Ideal for students and professionals seeking a clear, tested pathway to toxicology analysis.
