Analysis Note

Bath salts are psychoactive designer drugs of the phenethylamine and cathinone families. Shown here is the rapid, sensitive LC/TOF-MS analysis of nine bath salts extracted from human urine using polymeric SPE on Supel-Select SCX and separated on an Ascentis Express HILIC column. Notice the lack of interfering peaks in the chromatogram demonstrating the effectiveness of the sample cleanup. Cerilliant CRMs were used to ensure reliable MS identification and quantification.
