Extraction of a Drugs of Abuse Panel from Oral Fluid Using ISOLUTE® SLE+ After Collection with the Intercept Oral Fluid Drug Test Kit Prior to UPLC-MS/MS Analysis

Biotage
23 Jan 2015

This application note describes the extraction of 47 drugs of abuse from oral fluid matrix collected using the Intercept Oral Fluid Drug Test Kit (Orasure Technologies), prior to UPLC-MS/MS analysis. ISOLUTE® SLE+ Supported Liquid Extraction columns offer an efficient alternative to traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for bioanalytical sample preparation, providing high analyte recoveries, no emulsion formation, and significantly reduced sample preparation.

ISOLUTE SLE+ Supported Liquid Extraction Products

Biotage

ISOLUTE® SLE+ plates and columns enable efficient supported liquid extraction of analytes from whole blood, plasma, serum, urine, and oral fluid. The simple load-wait-elute method delivers 99.9% removal of proteins and phospholipids without offline steps, offering superior recovery, reproducibility, and cleaner extracts than liquid-liquid extraction.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Analyzers, immunoassays and drugs of abuse test kits and presumptive test kits are an essential aspect of toxicology investigation.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.
