Innovative and sustainable sampling strategies for bioanalytical quantification of drugs and metabolites have gained considerable interest. Scavenging can be stratified as a sustainable sampling strategy using residual material because it aligns with the green principles of waste reduction and sampling optimization. Scavenged sampling includes all biological fluids' (eg, blood, liquor, and urine) leftover from standard clinical care. This review elaborates on the past and current landscape of sustainable sampling within therapeutic drug monitoring, with a focus on scavenged sampling.
