Abstract

Background: Hair analysis plays a crucial role in forensic toxicology, offering a unique medium for long-term drug trace detection. This review emphasizes the evolution of electrochemical methods in analyzing hair for drug traces, underscoring their significance in forensic science.

Methods: We examined recent advancements in electrochemical techniques, including voltammetry, amperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and their application in drug trace analysis. The review also explores the development of novel electrode materials and surface modifications, which enhance the detection capabilities of these methods.

Results: Electrochemical methods have shown high sensitivity and specificity in detecting a range of drugs in hair. Innovations, like molecularly imprinted polymers and nanomaterials, have expanded the detectable substance range, offering more refined and accurate detection. Despite challenges, such as hair variability and external contamination, these methods have significantly improved the reliability of drug trace analysis.

Conclusion: Electrochemical approaches to hair analysis represent a significant advancement in forensic toxicology. Their ability to provide sensitive, specific, and non-invasive analysis makes them valuable tools. Future developments, including portable device creation and integration with other analytical techniques, hold promise for further enhancing the scope and accuracy of drug trace detection in hair.
