FORENSIC CASES IN THE NORTH OF CHILE: DETERMINATION OF ANTIDEPRESSANT DRUGS IN HUMAN WHOLE BLOOD

The consumption of antidepressant drugs has increased in these last years, leading to severe and lethal poisonings. In this work, analytical tools, namely GC/MSD and GC/NPD µECD, were used to identify and quantify several antidepressant drugs including amitriptyline, imipramine, sertraline, fluoxeti...
