Abstract
The present invention provides a rapid, sensitive method for forensic drug testing in a post-mortem subject using oral fluid collected from the post-mortem subject. The method comprises collecting a sample of oral fluid from a post-mortem subject, analyzing the oral fluid sample qualitatively to detect the presence of one or more drugs, and analyzing the oral fluid sample quantitatively to determine the concentration of the one or more drugs in the post-mortem subject. The method is about three times more effective with respect to detection of one or more drugs compared to the conventional use of blood, urine, bile, and liver tissue collected from the same post-mortem subject. Further, the amount of time needed to obtain the qualitative and quantitative results from the method of the present invention is at least twice as fast compared to conventional methods using blood, urine, bile, and liver tissue.
