Cross-reactivities of 41 new amphetamine
designer drugs to EMIT® immunoassays / Nieddu, M., Trignano, C., Burrai, L., Pirisi, M.A., Boatto, G.. - In: FORENSIC TOXICOLOGY. - ISSN 1860-8965. - 31:1(2013), pp. 133-137. [10.1007/s11419-012-0156-3]
abstract:
Amphetamine designer drugs are central nervous
system stimulants, and are widely diffused in illegal
markets. Monitoring of drugs of abuse in biological fluids
is successfully used for clinical and forensic applications.
In particular, the urine matrix allows the verification of
drug intake in the short and medium term. In a forensic
toxicology laboratory, typical analysis for these drugs
involves an immunoassay screening method. Here we
describe the cross-reactivity profiles of 41 new amphetamine
designer drugs to the urine drug tests EMIT II Plus
(Amphetamines assay and Ecstasy assay).
