title: Use of high-performance liquid chromatography to quantitate the opiate and sugar content of illicit heroin preparations.
abstract: Two high-performance liquid chromatographic systems can be used to obtain the opiate and sugar content of illicit heroin preparations. The combined quantitative results can then be used to determine if the samples originate from a common source.
