Quantitative Forensic Analysis of Opiates,Opioids, and Their Metabolites in Human, Urine Without Hydrolysis
A forensic method for analysis of opiates, opioids, andtheir metabolites without hydrolysis has been developedusing the Prelude SPLC system and TSQ Endura MS. Byeliminating the hydrolysis step, the sample preparationtime and analysis cost was drastically reduced. The LCmethod on the Prelude SPLC system/TSQ Endura MS provided ample resolution for all isobaric compounds andan outstanding increase in overall speed of analysis. The high sensitivity that the TSQ Endura MS provided allowed for low limits of quantitation of even the least responsive analytes, like the gluronidated metabolites. The fast SRMacquisition rate yielded a successful, simultaneous analysisof 19 compounds with 10 internal standards.
