It is known that Synthetic Cannabinoids (Spice Drugs) are found to be used across the whole spectrum of society. Typically analysis is reported by Forensic Toxicologists testing samples obtained from people involved with motoring offenses. Since the Spice Drugs are active at much lower concentrations than the conventional cannabinoids, a very efficient and robust methodology of extraction must be used. UCT Inc, the premier manufacturer of Solid Phase Extraction materials has been at the forefront of this type of analysis with the Clean Screen THC column. The THC column has been shown to be highly efficient in this area of Forensic Drug Testing.
Now in a publication to be seen in Journal of Analytical Toxicology (August 2012), Rebecca Heltsley et al have employed UCT's foremost SPE sorbent Clean Screen DAU in the testing of US athletes for the presence and concentrations of JWH-018, JWH-073, and their respective metabolites. The analytical team were able to detect and quantify the drugs down to 1 ng/mL of urine, with highly reproducible recoveries and minimal matrix effects. This report demonstrates why UCT is the world leader in SPE with Clean Screen DAU and THC SPE columns.
