Outline of Final Research Achievements

A primary screening method for methamphetamine (MA) as a stimulant drug was studied by electrochemiluminescence (ECL). The obviously ECL responses was measured in the presence of MA in sample solution when ruthenium complex was used as ECL probe. In order to observe the ECL reaction mechanism, the typical amphetamine type drugs were systematically measured. By the measurements, a simple and rapid screening method for MA is proposed in this study, and was applied in the determination of MA in biological samples with sensitivity based on potential modulation techniques.
