Detection of Prescription Drugs and Cocaine in Urine using the MALDI-8020
Clinical drug tests are used to analyse biological specimens, for example urine, hair, blood, breath, sweat, or saliva to determine the presence or absence of a specified drugs or related metabolites.
In this application note, we demonstrate how MALDI-TOF MS has the ability to quickly detect drug compounds in urine with minimal sample processing. Urine samples were spiked with several prescription drugs or cocaine and one of its metabolites. Following liquid-liquid extraction, the extracted samples were analysed using the MALDI-8020.
