Constant modifications of methods precludes specific references. An excellent introduction for the general hospital laboratory is the Emergency Room Toxicology course offered by ButlerThorne J., M.D. through the Commission on Continuing Education of the ASCP. Laboratory Management, August, 1969, has two articles of interest entitled “TLC—Growing Clinical Use” and “New Role for the Clinical Laboratory, Monitoring the Mainliner”. The latter furnishes costs of setting up a fairly complete thin layer drug analysis program. Sadtler Research Laboratories, 3316 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia, offers A Programmed Introduction to Gas-Liquid Chromatography by J.B. Pattison at a cost of $4.95. For spectrofluorometric opiate screening of urine we use a method obtained from the Farrund Corporation. The method was developed in conjunction with the methadone treatment facility at Beth Israel Hospital in New York City.
