Megan Dunkle, Forensic Toxicology method development analytical toxicologist 2, adds an organic chemical in a drop-wise fashion to precipitate blood proteins out of a solution, in the extractions laboratory of the FORTOX division of the Armed Forces Medical Examiner System, Dover Air Force Base, Delaware, Jan. 13, 2026. Ultimately, this results in a clear liquid that is either extracted or diluted and injected onto a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometer which can determine the concentration of wide variety of drugs and metabolites. The extractions laboratory tests for the presence of substances through an isolation process, in which they are able to extract only that desired substance from a given sample.
