The toxicological analyzes on various samples are extremely important and can be used for multiple purposes, such as monitoring of drug addicts, forensic analysis, doping control, therapeutic monitoring, analyses of environmental contaminants, etc. The objective of this study was to analyze post - mortem blood samples of the Instituto de Criminalística de Goiás (IC) by immunochromatography and systematic toxicological analysis HPLC - PDA to check the presence or absence of toxic agents. The chromatographic conditions of the method were: mobile phase monobasic potassium phosphate buffer pH 2.3 and acetonitrile, flow rate 1 ml / min, Lichrospher RP8 column, 5μm, 250 x 4.0 mm, scanning range 200-380 nm, the calibration standards were MPPH system, caffeine, benzene and histamine. It was used the database proposed by UVTOX Pragst et al (2001). As part of the partial validation the matrix effect was evaluated by liquid-liquid extraction of whole blood samples contaminated with 8 standards in known concentration. The whole blood samples were extracted at different pH values and analyzed by HPLC -PDA. Through the areas obtained from each standard, it was calculated the standardized factor matrix which showed a coefficient of variation less than 10 %. In order to compare two screening techniques for detection of drugs of abuse, post-mortem blood samples from the IC (n = 35) were also analyzed by immunochromatography, yielding 10 samples positive for amphetamine, 3 for benzoylecgonine and 1 for Δ9THC. The ATS by HPLC – PDA analyses showed only 1 sample positive for benzoylecgonine, 2 samples for amphetamines, and 3 benzodiazepines. In the other samples, no substance toxicological interest was detected. Both immunochromatography as systematic toxicological analysis proved useful tools in screening post-mortem blood.
