High-throughput screening of cocaine, adulterants, and diluents in seized samples using capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection.

Cocaine is one of the most frequently used illicit drug in the world. Therefore, the development of simple and fast methods for the detection of cocaine and common adulterants, diluents and impurities are extremely important in forensic investigations. The present study describes, for the first time, a method based on capillary electrophoresis with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (CE-CD) for the rapid (2.
