Forensic Science Intl 174(2008) 133-151 Have seen many client chromatograms with these compounds Blood testing needs to be regulated. In Texas there are NO regulations for blood testing. Most labs still don't even report a margin of uncertainty. There should be a law that the lab videotape the entire blood testing process. Even in Florida, for pesticide testing on fruits/vegetables there must be 2 lab workers, one to test- the other to witness.
