title: EMIT-st screening for drugs of abuse: methaqualone.
abstract: The Emit-st (single test) drug detection system was determined, for methaqualone and several of its metabolites, to be reliable and simple to perform. Its sensitivity was 0.3 micrograms/mL for methaqualone and 0.4 micrograms/mL for the only methaqualolne metabolite (4-hydroxymethaqualone) known to be excreted unconjugated. This assay also detects mecloqualone, a Schedule I drug marketed in Europe and South Africa.
