Laboratory Services

The levels of alcohol and soporific, narcotic and psychotropic substances can be accurately determined without any need for confirmation, thanks to the methodologies that employ state of art technology.

Furthermore, quality, objectivity and credibility of our laboratory are assured based on similar national and international institutions.

Providing service under Department of Forensic Medicine, Forensic Toxicology Laboratory conducts;
- Levels of ethanol analyses by utilizing GC-HS,
- The analyses given below by utilizing GC-MS and LC-MSMS;
o Benzodiazepines
o Barbiturates
o Tricyclic antidepressants
o Cocaine and its metabolites
o Opiates and their metabolites
o Cannabis/THC
o Amphetamines
o Psychotropic Substances
o General Screening (GC-MS)
o General Screening (LC/MS/MS).
- These substance analyses are conducted with mass spectrometers paired with gas and liquid chromatography in order to yield the most accurate results.
- The operation of laboratories which conduct analyses of soporific, narcotic and psychotropic substances have still been imposed certain restrictions (These laboratories provide service to only competent juridical authorities such as Council of Forensic Medicine, Police Department and Gendarmerie Laboratory). In contradistinction to the current forensic laboratories, we are the first forensic toxicology laboratory to meet the demand incoming from individual applications, private industry, and public agency and institutions.
