Extraction of 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-tetrahydrocannanbinol from Urine Using ISOLUTE® SLE+

Biotage
8 Jul 2012

This application note describes the extraction of THC and metabolites from urine using ISOLUTE SLE+ columns or plates. Globally, cannabis is one of the most widely used illicit drugs. The naturally occurring cannabinoids found in hemp species bind to receptors in the brain and cause sensations of relaxation and calm. Widespread legislation against the use of cannabis has led to the necessity for rapid and reliable methods for the analysis and quantitation of cannabinoids and metabolites. The most prevalent marker in biological samples taken from cannabis abusers is 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC. This study demonstrates a supported liquid extraction procedure for 11-nor-9-carboxy-Δ9-THC.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats. Find the best SPE, SLE and SPME equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Toxicology / Drugs of Abuse TestingToxicology and Drugs of Abuse Testing is the investigation into toxic and illegal substances found at the scene of a crime or from a suspect and / or victim associated with a scene of a crime. Analyzers, immunoassays and drugs of abuse test kits and presumptive test kits are an essential aspect of toxicology investigation.UrineThe analysis of urine is important in medicinal, anti-doping, forensic and life sciences applications. The ability to evaluate what someone has ingested through their urine enables fast detection and diagnosis of certain illnesses. Drugs of AbuseA drug of abuse is a drug that has been taken for non-medical purposes. Such drugs can have mind-altering effects, with some causing dependence and addiction.Anti-Doping ScienceAnti-doping science involves the detection of performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) and banned substances in athletes. This field helps ensure fair competition and athlete safety.
