Clinical Toxicology is the study of agents that cause toxic or adverse effects to the body. This sub-field usually deals with the side effects of drugs or chemicals given to a patient in order to treat other symptoms or diseases.
Everyone that uses titration in their lab knows how simple and fast the technique can be. However, uncertainty around when to replace electrodes creates confusion. Reagent quality, tubi...
