Application of I.R. spectrophotometry in emergency analyses.

I.R. spectrophotometry has been applied in emergency toxicological analyses. Poisons and drugs are extracted into chloroform, potassium bromide is added to the extract and the solvent evaporated. Potassium bromide discs are prepared by compression and scanned in an I.R. spectrophotometer. A data bank of standard spectra has been prepared and computerized comparison of the spectral data of the sample extract with those of authentic compounds allows the identification of toxic agents in 'real time'.

[Identification of drugs in toxic doses in biological fluids using infrared Spectrophotometry].

A method permitting rapid analysis of biological samples from patients suspected of being intoxicated is reported. The method is based on: a) extraction of the active principles of biological samples with chloroform; b) drying and preparation of a disc of KBr; c) spectrophotometric analysis; d) integration of data from laboratory analyses with the clinical data from the patient. A number of clinical cases are also reported in which adoption of the method permitted rapid diagnosis of the possible aetiology of the toxic pictures observed.
