[Application of solid-phase microextraction technique to the detection of amphetamines in urine by GC].
A simple and rapid detection of nine amphetamines co-existing in urine was described. In the test, the method of solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) by GC technique was used. Urine (1.0 ml), NaCl (0.3 g) and 4-phenylbutylamine (internal standard) were added into a vial (1.5 ml), then the sample was adjusted to pH 12 with 10% NaOH and sealed with a teflon-coated septum. After immersion of the SPME fiber (100 PDME) in the sample for 15 min, the SPME needle was inserted into the injection port of the GC and extruded for 3 min. The result showed that each peak from nine amphetamines compounds and internal standard was clearly separated. The calibration curves were linear from 0.2 to 15 micrograms/ml for most of five amphetamines with r between 0.9928-0.9995. The CV were less 10%. It is concluded that the method is simple, quick, accurate and useful for the practical detection of urine concentration of amphetamines.
