General description

This certified Snap-N-Spike® Solution is suitable for use as starting material in calibrators or controls for a variety of LC/MS or GC/MS applications from forensic analysis and clinical toxicology to urine drug testing.

(±)-3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) belongs to the class of racemic amphetamine-type stimulant drugs. It has psychoactive properties and is an active ingredient of the synthetic hallucinogenic drug, ecstasy. It is an illicit drug known by a variety of street names, including "Ecstasy," "E," "X," and "XTC". An analog of the phenethylamine class, MDMA is abused for its euphoric and psychedelic effects.

Application

The Certified Reference Material (CRM) in solution can also be used as follows:
  • Electrochemical detection of morphine and MDMA from human serum and urine samples using a sensitive sensor based on platinum nanoparticles deposited on carbon nanohorns (CNHs)
  • Enantiomeric assessment of seized drugs of amphetamine, methamphetamine, and MDMA by two methods of liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and diode array detector (DAD)
  • Development and validation of a stereoselective liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) procedure for the analysis of MDMA and its metabolites in human plasma samples
  • Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometric (MALDI-QqQ-MS/MS) based analysis of MDMA and its metabolite 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine in oral fluid samples
  • Differential pulse voltametric (DPV) identification and quantification of MDMA in seized drug samples using boron-doped diamond electrode (BDDE)

Features and Benefits

  • Fully characterized under ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO 17034 accreditation
  • Accompanied with a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (CoA) with data on stability, homogeneity, accuracy of concentration, uncertainty, and traceability
  • Rigorously tested through real-time stability studies to ensure accuracy and shelf life
  • Gravimetrically prepared using qualified precision balances to ensure minimal uncertainty
  • Flame sealed under argon into ampoules for long-term shelf life
  • Offered in a convenient, DEA-exempt format to improve laboratory efficiency
