Abstract:
Methods for the chiral separation and quantitative determination of the d - and l - enantiomers for amphetamine and methamphetamine in bodily fluids and tissues are provided. The method comprises providing a bodily fluid or tissue sample from a subject, extracting target analyte(s) from the sample, followed by eluting on a liquid chromatography column comprising a chiral stationary phase to yield an eluent, which is then analyzed for the presence of the analytes using a mass analyzer.
