Article Synopsis
- A new method for detecting amphetamine derivatives in human serum and urine using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry has been developed, utilizing N-methyl-bis(trifluoroacetamide) (MBTFA) for rapid chemical modification.
- The study investigated how different amphetamines reacted to varying concentrations of undiluted and diluted MBTFA, finding that the analytes could be categorized into three groups based on their reaction intensity.
- The results indicated that primary amines reacted more readily to MBTFA concentration changes than secondary amines, leading to insights that could improve the efficiency of similar analytical methods.
The authors analyzed the biological samples available in criminal cases that were started because of illicit and prescribed drug-impaired driving between 2000 and 2004. The result of the on-the-spot clinical test is not informative and cannot be evaluated as it is mainly affected by the simultaneous presence of alcohol. Licit or illicit drugs in the urine could be detected in 378 people out of 623 people (60.
