Restek - Analysis of Fentanyl and Its Analogues in Human Urine by LC–MS/MS
June 01, 2020
Abuse of synthetic opioid prescription painkillers such as fentanyl, along with a rapidly growing list of illicit analogues, is a significant public health problem. In this study, we developed a simple dilute-and-shoot method that provides a fast 3.5-min analysis of fentanyl and related compounds (norfentanyl, acetyl fentanyl, alfentanil, butyryl fentanyl, carfentanil, remifentanil, and sufentanil) in human urine by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/ MS) using a Raptor Biphenyl column.
