The authors have set up an experimental research to reveal if toxicological analysis can be performed with success on empty puparia. Empty cases of Calliphora Erythrocephala have been obtained from 30 experimental liver specimens with known different morphine concentrations. Opiate quantitative and qualitative analysis was then performed using Fluorescence Polarization ImmunoAssay (FPIA - Abbot ADX Analyzer). The results reveal an opiate positive qualitative analysis for empty cases obtained from the specimens with high morphine concentrations. This evidence allows the use in extreme forensic cases of even empty puparia of cadaveric blowflies as useful specimens for toxicological analysis; that seems really interesting in solving ancient historical suspected drug-related deaths.

Abstract
The authors have set up an experimental research to reveal if toxicological analysis can be performed with success on empty puparia. Empty cases of Calliphora Erythrocephala have been obtained from 30 experimental liver specimens with known different morphine concentrations. Opiate quantitative and qualitative analysis was then performed using Fluorescence Polarization ImmunoAssay (FPIA - Abbot ADX Analyzer). The results reveal an opiate positive qualitative analysis for empty cases obtained from the specimens with high morphine concentrations. This evidence allows the use in extreme forensic cases of even empty puparia of cadaveric blowflies as useful specimens for toxicological analysis; that seems really interesting in solving ancient historical suspected drug-related deaths.
