title: Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric procedures used for the identification and determination of morphine, codeine and 6-monoacetylmorphine.
abstract: An overview of the analysis of opiates by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is presented. The review is focused on the hydrolysis, extraction and derivatization procedures most widely used for the identification and determination by GC-MS of legal and illegal opiates in various biological fluids.
