Abstract
Development of simple, reliable and cost-effective methods for drug analysis is crucial for the fight against drug abuse. In order to deal with large number of samples, preliminary screening is normally firstly applied, followed by confirmatory analysis. However, the preliminary screening, which involves the use of testing kits, has the problem of producing false positive or false negative results, while the confirmatory analysis is time-consuming and laborious as extensive sample pretreatment and chromatographic separation process are required. To solve these problems, we have developed two techniques, i.e., wooden-tip electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (WT-ESI-MS) and solid phase microextraction coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (SPME-ESI-MS), for rapid and reliable detection of common drugs-of-abuse in human urine and oral fluid.
