Class selective extraction of Amphetamines from biological samples: urine and serum.

Amphetamines are a class of illegal drugs that exhibit strong central nervous system stimulant effect. Therefore several US and European states have set up a cut-off value in urine or blood [e.g. France and Virginia (respectively 50ng/mL and 100ng/mL of blood)]. These values are used to determine if drivers are under influence of (Meth)amphetamine.

For such low concentrations, a clean up step is crucial in order to improve the sensitivity, the reliability and the specificity before LC analysis.

AFFINIMIP® SPE Amphetamines are selective solid phase extraction cartridges that clean and concentrate Amphetamines and its derivatives [Methamphetamine, MDA (3,4-Methylenedioxyamphetamine), MDMA (3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine) and MDEA (3,4-Methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine)] prior to analysis by HPLC-MS.

Benefits

  • Perfect clean-up system for trace analysis of Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, MDA, MDMA and MDEA.
  • Ready for use and optimized extraction protocol adapted to urine and serum.
  • High capacity cartridge for reliable results at high concentrations: Recoveries >87% for each analyte.
  • Reduction of sample preparation time.

Application notes

Amphetamines from urine & serum

Analysis of Amphetamine, Methamphetamine, MDA, MDMA and MDEA has been carried out in urine and serum samples after cleanup with AFFINIMIP® SPE Amphetamines. Samples were spiked at 100ng/mL in serum and 20ng/mL in urine. Mean recoveries >87% were obtained for each analyte and relative standard deviation calculated from results generated under reproducibility conditions ranged from 1.5% to 12.4% in urine and 2.2% to 5% in serum.
