The forensic toxicology community has recognized flunitrazepam and its metabolite (7-aminoflunitrazepam) as compounds of concern for several years. In this procedure, the analytes were extracted from whole blood and urine onto single mode solid phase cartridges (butyl) using nitrazepam as

Flunitrazepam, a hypnotic benzodiazepine, is widely prescribed around the world for the treatment of insomnia and as a preanesthetic. In vitro studies have shown that the metabolism of flunitrazepam to desmethylflunitrazepam and 3-hydroxyflunitrazepam is mediated in part by the polymorphic

A sweeping technique, in conjunction with micellar electrokinetic chromatography, for the simultaneous determination of flunitrazepam and its major metabolites, 7-aminoflunitrazepam and N-desmethylflunitrazepam, is described. The optimized conditions for the sweeping and separation were a pH 9.5 buffer, 25mM borate, 50mM

We report on the development of solid phase microextraction probes for drug analysis, prepared with antibodies specific for benzodiazepines covalently immobilized to the surface. In the technique, immobilized antibody probes are exposed to a sample containing the drug for 30
Dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ES-MS/MS) procedure was presented for the extraction and determination of 7-aminoflunitrazepam (7-aminoFM2), a biomarker of the hypnotic flunitrazepam (FM2) in urine sample. The method was based on the formation of tiny
