Sensitivity and specificity in confirming
thepresenceof opiates indifferent
samples canbe enhancedby selectively
choosing certain ions tomonitor.
Identificationbasedupon thepresence
of distinctive, highmass ions is
preferred, especiallywhen analyzing
derivatizedcompounds.Trimethylsilyl
derivativeswill add72 amu for every
hydroxyl groupderivatized.
Effectiveprotocols for opiate analysis
include extensive samplepreparation
andoptimized instrument parameters.
Derivative formation and theuseof
deactivatedglassware, samplevials, and
inlet linerswill ensuremaximum
recoveries and response.Optimized
detector parameters using selected ions
for detectionwill aid in the identifica-
tionof different compounds.
