| Popis: | Veterinary analytical toxicology deals with the chemical analysis of antemortem, postmortem, and environmental specimens to assist the veterinary practitioner in the diagnosis of poisoning. The chemical analytical data reported to the veterinarian are of utmost importance. The correct data lead to correct diagnosis. The erroneous data may lead to disaster; the client may lose large number of animals. The erroneous data may also lead to legal ramifications. Thus, correctness of analytical data is of paramount importance for veterinary analytical toxicology. Chemical measurements are based on the principles of analytical chemistry. In practice, the analytical chemist uses analytical methods to get the final results. It should be pointed out that by nature analytical results are variable. This chapter provides the analytical chemist/toxicologist an overview of the brief history of early, and recent developments in chemical measurements, and above all the basis for scientifically sound chemical analytical measurements. Instrumental methods have surpassed the traditional gravimetric and volumetric analysis in speed and sensitivity. The value of the control sample gives the indication of the performance of the method on a given day. |
