Toxicology Reporting
Reports are expert statements from Toxicologists, detailing the detection, isolation, and identification of drugs or alcohol in each sample. The expert statement will also include a detailed interpretation of the results and a conclusion of the findings.
Obtaining a toxicology report can provide a clearer understanding of the results, which can assist, along with other evidence, toward the overall outcome of a case.
Toxicology reports can vary based on the specific needs of each client.
However, they generally include:
- Matrices for testing
- Testing methods: What was tested for and the period of detection.
- Detailed analysis of lab results: Analysis of results and how this correlates with ingestion. Cross-analysis with any statements provided by the donor or findings identified by the requesting authority.
- Cited research to support findings: Cited research including copies and interpretation of how this supports the Toxicologists findings.
- Explanation of the findings: In summary, the Toxicologist will provide a conclusion based on the interpretation and research findings.
Circumstances requiring Toxicology reports can vary widely and can include:
- Child safety matters
- Custodial cases
- Drink spiking/drugging
- Drug facilitated crime/sexual assault
- Drug dependency/Rehabilitation programmes
