Abstract
Oral fluid (OF) is increasingly used as an alternative sample matrix in drug of abuse screening. Screening is commonly performed by immunoassays and results confirmed using laborious gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)-based methods. Therefore, an easy to operate ion trap mass spectrometric (IT-MS) commercial screening method (Toxtyper; Bruker Daltronik, Bremen, Germany) combined with a laboratory-developed sample preparation procedure has been evaluated for their application to OF. OF samples were subjected to protein precipitation followed by HybridSPE-Phospholipid extraction. Chromatographic separation was achieved by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography; MS2/MS3 spectra were recorded by IT-MS and analyzed using a library provided by the manufacturer (Bruker Daltronik). The lower limit of detection, linearity, imprecision, inaccuracy, and specificity (interferences and matrix effects) were investigated for methadone, buprenorphine, pregabalin, fentanyl, amphetamine, 3,4-methylendioxy-N-methylamphetamine, cocaine, acetylcodeine, and nordiazepam, after spiking drug-free OF with these test substances. In addition, concordance between IT-MS results and gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, liquid chromato...Continue Reading
