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

The current work was aimed at evaluating a new method, supercritical fluid extraction of emulsions (SFEE), for the production of composite (e.g., polymer-drug) micro-and nanoparticles, intended for application in sustained-release drug delivery formulations. Using the proposed method, composite part
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
The combination of supercritical-fluid extraction-supercritical-fluid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry has been evaluated for the detection of residues of a small group of veterinary drugs in freeze-dried pig's kidney. During extraction with supercritical CO2 the drugs were retained by the co
This study investigates the distribution of some drugs in hair samples taken from different parts of the body (head, pubis and axillae). Samples drawn from 15 subjects who died from drug overdose were analysed. The concentrations of the drugs detected in the biological fluids did not appear to be co
