TY - JOUR PY - 1998// TI - A micro-analytical method for simultaneously quantifying benzoylecgonine, amphetamine, codeine and morphine in blood serum by means of GC/MS JO - Blutalkohol A1 - Weinmann, Wolfgang A1 - Renz, M A1 - Pelz, C A1 - Brauchle, P A1 - Vogt, Sally A1 - Pollak, Stefan SP - 195 EP - 203 VL - 35 IS - 3 N2 - A GC/MS method for the simultaneous quantitation of amphetamine, benzoylecgonine, codeine and morphine using 0.1 mL serum has been developed. This method is based on a standard procedure for 1 mL serum samples (solid- phase extraction, derivatisation, GC/MS-analysis) which has now been modified for 0.1 mL serum-volumes. Linearity of calibration was achieved with standard GC/MS-conditions down to 1 to 5 ng/mL drug-concentration. For sample- preparation deuterated standards were added to spiked serum-samples, then solid-phase extraction and derivatisation of extracts with perfluoropropionic anhydride and pentafluoropropanol were performed. Analyses were carried out by means of GC/MS in Selected-Ion-Monitoring mode. The extraction efficiencies were between 86 and 98 % while the relative standard deviations of ten analyses were between 5.3 and 7.2 % (determined at a drug concentration of 10 ng/mL). With this method a GC/MS-analysis for verification of immunological results for amphetamine, benzoylecgonine, morphine and codeine can be achieved with as little as 0.1 mL serum-sample. However, this does not include tetrahydrocannabinol and its metabolites which cannot be detected by this method.
