The student should know the principles of chromatographic separations and main detectors. The student should have basic knowledge about the differences between biological matrices of forensic interest (blood, urine and hair) and about the human metabolism

The main aim of the course is to provide to the student general info about the forensic toxicological field. In particular, the student should learn the main pre-analytical aspects of toxicological analysis of blood, urine and hair, and the substances that are generally monitored in forensic toxicology

The program includes:
1. A first part dedicated to the Forensic Toxicology field, by discussing main case reports and all the analyses carried out for each, thus teaching how to choose the proper biological matrix to be processed;
2. The second part will focus on the main substances of forensic interest, such as common and new drugs of abuse and ethyl alcohol
3. The last part will focus on the pre-analytical techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction and SPE extraction, and main instrumental methods, like GC-MS and LC-MS

Lessons will be carried out through an interactive method, by directly involving the student with questions and requests of speech

The suggested book is "Principles of forensic toxicology" by B. Levine.
All the projected slides will be provided to the students

The exam can be carried out into two different ways; through an oral or through a a written quiz with multiple choice
