Dried matrix spot (DMS) is a sampling technique, primarily used to analyze blood to diagnose metabolic diseases in newborns. As this technique has several advantages, DMS has started to be employed for other purposes using other biological matrices and increasingly in toxicology over the last decade. The aim of this work was to review the analytical methods using DMS which can be applied to drugs of abuse and which have been published since 2010.

- Cannabis sativa L. is a plant used for fun and medicine worldwide, and scientists are trying to find out if someone used it by testing their saliva.
- In the past twenty years, many ways have been developed to find and measure cannabis chemicals in saliva, especially THC, which is the part that gets you high.
- The review looks at 47 studies to better understand how to test saliva for these chemicals, such as how to collect the saliva, prepare it for testing, and how accurately we can find smaller amounts of these chemicals.
This systematic review deals with the last 10 years of research in analytical methodologies for the analysis of fingerprints, regarding their chemical and biological constituents. A total of 123 manuscripts, which fit the search criteria defined using the descriptor "latent fingermarks analysis," were selected. Its main instrumental areas (mass spectrometry, spectroscopy, and innovative methods) were analyzed and summarized in a specific table, highlighting its main analytical parameters.
