Rationale Clinical and forensic toxicology laboratories are challenged every day by the analytical aspects of the new psychoactive substances phenomenon. In this study we describe the analytical characterization of a new ketamine derivative, deschloroketamine (2‐methylamino‐2‐phenylcyclohexanone), contained in seized powders. Methods The analytical techniques employed include gas...

Abstract A gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of common drugs of abuse in Asia. The method was able to simultaneously quantify amphetamines (amphetamine; AP, methamphetamine; MA, methylenedioxy amphetamine; MDA, methylenedioxymeth mphetamine; MDMA, methylenedioxy ethylamphetamine; MDEA), ketamine (ketamine; K, norketamine; NK),...

Abstract A method using an online solid‐phase extraction (SPE) and ion‐pairing liquid chromatography with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ES‐MS/MS) was developed for determination of amphetamine (Amp), methamphetamine (mAmp), 3,4‐methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA), 3,4‐methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDEA), and 3,4‐methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) in urine samples. A SPE cartridge...

Abstract Confirmation and quantitation of LSD, as its trimethyI silyI derivative, is carried out using a commercial gas chromatography/mass spectrometry system. The method uses 4 times less sample than previous methods, extends column life by reducing the amount of derivatizing agent used and can detect and quantify LSD at the 10 pg mL −1 level.
