Methadone in urine by detector MS

Methadone in urine by detector MS (code  GC48010) – 50 tests package.

INSIGHTS
Methadone is a synthetic opioid used as a drug of choice in the detoxification of heroin (and / or opiates). Methadone is metabolized in the body as 2-ethylidene-1,5-dimethyl-3,3- diphenylpyrrolidine (EDDP), metabolite that is found along with the parent drug in urine. Due to the presence of some substances that interfere with the antigen-antibody reaction, methods of 1° screening can give false positive results. Therefore, a confirmation analysis by chromatographic techniques is required. The following method is used to determine Methadone and EDDP, after solid phase extraction, by using gas chromatography – mass spectrometry.

Principle of the Method:

This method allows to determinate the Methadone and its main metabolite, EDDP, after solid-liquid extraction and reading by GC/MS.
