Research Abstract |
The drug abuse is a serious problem in the world. Analysis of the drugs in human hair is very important to reveal the history of the drug abuse. So far, there has no report of a high sensitive determination method for determination of methamphetamine and amphetamine from a limited material such as a small piece of human hair. We developed a high sensitive and accurate method by using headspace solid phase microextraction. As a result, it was possible to determine the drugs from one piece of hair(1cm). The detection limit of this method was 20 and 50 pg for methamphetamine and amphetamine, respectively. The proposed method will be helpful to judge the period of the drug abuse without a pain for a patient.
