REVIEWS:

2011, Journal of Forensic Science
"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

2011, TIAFT Bulletin
"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
10-Jul-2011, Chromatographia
"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

From the reviews of the previous edition
'Some things in life are worth the wait and truly this 3rd edition of Clarke's Analysis of Drugs and Poisons falls into this category…the quality is superb' Australian Journal of Forensic Sciences
'Clarke has gained an international reputation as a reliable source of information for the analyses of drugs, and this new highly-expanded edition is the 21st century's successor.' Veterinary and Human Toxicology
'The content is comprehensive, absorbing and layout is well planned and executed. Without doubt, this volume will be a much well thumbed institution in any serious analytical laboratory and will assist generations of scientists in years to come.' Pharmacy Education

WHAT'S NEW?:


- Volume one has been greatly expanded from 31 to 44 chapters providing extensive coverage of all methodology and analytical techniques. Of significant interest include:





Quality control and assessment - separated into two chapters to reflect the differing situations/purposes/remits of the toxicology laboratory versus the pharmaceutical industry (accreditation with ISO17025 becoming the international standard in labs)


Method development and validation - now present 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 accreditation


Pharmacokinetics now coupled with Pharmacogenomics




- All chapters have been updated, for instance the colour test chapter now includes the analysis of metals, while newer analytical techniques, such as liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and atomic absorption spectrometry-inductively coupled- mass spectrometry (AAS-ICP-MS) are also covered. Parts two and three now contain 2111 monographs (1730 in 3rd edition). This includes over 200 new monographs with retention of all monographs included in previous edition. New monographs include metals, natural toxins and weapons of mass destruction Over 300 updated monographs including amphetamine, morphine and MDMA
