title: Ion-trap mass spectrometry applications in forensic sciences. I. Identification of morphine and cocaine in hair extracts of drug addicts.
abstract: Daughter-ion spectra obtained by ion-trap mass spectrometry have been successfully employed in the field of drug abuse investigation. Selection and collision-induced fragmentation of molecular-ion species of morphine and cocaine lead to an easy identification of such molecules in hair extracts of heroin and cocaine addicts.
