Failure to manage this stage correctly can ruin any subsequent analyses. The pathologist carrying out a postmortem examination will be experienced in knowing which samples should be taken for toxicological analysis, but caution should again be exercised to ensure that samples are placed in appropriate containers and stored correctly before and during transportation to the forensic toxicology laboratory.

By contrast, digoxin has a renal clearance of about 120 mL/min, which could be explained by either filtration alone, or because secretion is balanced by reabsorption. In practice, it is known that filtration accounts for almost all of the renal clearance of digoxin. A further example is methaqualone, which has a renal clearance of about 1 mL/min, indicating extensive reabsorption of filtered drug. One of the major physiological factors that determines the variability in the rate of drug excretion into the urine is the pH of the urine.
