Detection of 26 Drugs of Abuse and Metabolites in Quantitative Dried Blood Spots by Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry by Thomas Meikopoulos, Helen Gika, Georgios Theodoridis, Olga Begou

“…The studied drugs of abuse were found to be stable over five days under three different storage conditions (at ambient temperature 21 °C, at −20 °C, and at 35 °C), thus offering a highly attractive approach for drug screening by minimally invasive sampling for individuals that could find application in forensic toxicology analysis.…”
