[THE IDENTIFICATION OF SIX CLASSES OF PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES IN VARIOUS OBJECTS USING TECHNIOUE OF IMMUNE
Klinicheskaia Laboratornaia Diagnostika
|October 17, 2015
Summary
New immune chromatographic test-systems and simple sample preparation techniques allow for rapid, field-based detection of six classes of psychoactive substances in various biological and non-biological samples.
Area of Science:
- Analytical Chemistry
- Forensic Science
- Toxicology
Context:
- Detection of psychoactive substances is crucial for forensic and clinical toxicology.
- Existing methods often require specialized equipment and laboratory settings.
- Need for rapid, accessible screening methods in diverse environments.
Purpose:
- To develop immune chromatographic test-systems for detecting six classes of psychoactive substances.
- To establish simple, rapid sample preparation techniques for these substances.
- To enable preliminary screening in field or domestic settings.
Summary:
- Developed immune chromatographic test-systems for opiates, amphetamines, cannabinoids, ecstasy, benzodiazepines, and methadone.
- Created simple sample preparation methods for biological (sweat, hair, urine) and non-biological (plant material, unknown substances) samples.
- Techniques require no special equipment or reagents, suitable for laymen.
Impact:
- Facilitates preliminary screening of psychoactive substances outside traditional laboratory settings.
- Increases accessibility of drug detection methods for field and domestic use.
- Supports rapid identification of controlled substances in various matrices.

01:12Chromatographic Methods: Classification
4.6K
Chromatographic techniques are classified in three ways: the classification is based on the physical state of the stationary and mobile phases, how the mobile phase and the stationary phase contact each other, or through the chemical or physical processes that isolate the components of the sample. Typically, the mobile phase is either a liquid or gas, while the stationary phase is either a solid or a liquid layer applied to a solid surface.

01:22CNS Stimulants: Psychedelic Agents
982
Hallucinogens, also known as psychedelic drugs, are a class of substances known for their ability to alter perception, cognition, and emotions. Despite their profound effects on the mind, these drugs are non-addictive, setting them apart from many other abused substances. The mechanism of action of these drugs lies in their impact on the 5-HT2A receptor in the brain. Upon activation, this receptor couples to Gq-type G proteins, triggering a cascade that releases intracellular calcium. This...

01:09Ion-Exchange Chromatography
2.9K
Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...

2.2K
The role of the detectors in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is to analyze the solutes as they exit from the chromatographic column. The detector recognizes the solute's property and generates corresponding electrical signals, which are converted into a readable graph of the detector's response versus elution time called a chromatogram at the computer. There are several types of HPLC detectors, each with its own advantages and limitations, depending on the analyte...

01:28An Overview of Psychoactive Drugs
785
Psychoactive drugs impact brain function, influencing perception, mood, consciousness, cognition, and behavior. These substances are grouped based on their effects and the mechanisms by which they act.
Stimulants such as cocaine, amphetamines, and nicotine enhance brain activity, leading to increased alertness, attention, and energy. These drugs typically raise heart rate, blood pressure, and body temperature. While they can induce feelings of euphoria, their misuse can result in severe health...

Drugs can be classified according to their chemical composition or their intended therapeutic application. For instance, anti-infective agents that possess the ability to eliminate pathogens or suppress their growth and reproduction can be grouped based on the organisms they target or their chemical structure. Furthermore, drugs can be divided into prescription, nonprescription, or controlled substances. Prescription medications, such as antibiotics, require oversight from a licensed healthcare...
