Abstract:
A novel automatic system has been developed for the rapid solid-extraction and derivatization of different drugs and their metabolites from urine, prior to further analysis. Manual injection of underivatized/derivatized drugs in a GC/MS system, in which the quadrupole mass filter was operated conventionally, provided high sensitivity and selectivity at the selected m/z value. The precision (2.1-6.8%) is acceptable and the overall recovery from urine was determined to be ca. 95%. The effectiveness of this approach is demonstrated with data obtained from different urine samples which had tested positively.
