An enzymatic hydrolysis of hair for drug detection is described. The results obtained with the suggested method are compared with those observed by chemical hydrolysis. Enzymatic digestion provides a high recovery (80%) for cocalne metabolite. while alkaline hydrolysis causes its chemical destructio

We have tested several solvents for the decontamination of control hair contaminated by cocaine. Methylene chloride was the most efficient solvent, eliminating more than 60% of contaminating cocaine. Two washes were used, additional washes were not effective in removing more cocaine. Sixteen hair a
Stimulants that are controlled by the Stimulant Drug Control Law of Japan are methamphetamine (MA) and amphetamine (AP). MA is used by most stimulant addicts, and AP is detected as its main metabolite. We have developed a high-performance liquid chromatographic method with chemiluminescence detectio
