Application of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography to the analysis of illicit drug seizures.
The application of micellar electrokinetic capillary chromatography (MECC) to the analysis of illicit drug seizures is presented. Areas investigated include general screening and qualitative and, in some instances, quantitative analysis of various drugs, including heroin, opium, cocaine, amphetamines, LSD and anabolic steroids. Due to its high efficiency, high selectivity and general applicability, MECC is well suited for forensic drug analyses.
