VARIOUS DRUGS
The program includes 4 test per year with 1 or 2 samples of 5 ml with different components which are not often tested in most of the laboratories but belong to the (sub)routine assays. The last years the following components were tested: disopyramide, procaïnamide, quinidine, flunitrazepam, desmethylflunitrazepam, atenolol, metoprolol, propanolol, sulfamethoxazole, trimethoprim, zuclopethixol etc. The matrix is liquid or lyophilised bovine serum. Participation
"DRUGS OF ABUSE"
The program includes 4 tests of 2 urine samples per year. The presence or absence of amphetamines, opiates, cannabinoids, cocaine, benzodiazepines, ethanol, methadone, barbiturates and other drugs of abuse like GHB needs to be established. The matrix is human urine. Participation EXPERIMENTAL TDM
The program includes 4 tests of 1 or 2 samples of 5 ml. The samples contain 1 or 2 components. Components tested in this program are new medicines or require difficult analysis or interpretation. Participation
TOXICOLOGY
The program includes 4 or 5 tests per year. The samples (5 ml) contain different components and are presented with a toxicological case. The participant is supposed to perform a toxicological screening and is asked to give an advice for treatment. The matrix is liquid of lyophilised bovine serum. Participation
