General description

A certified Snap-N-Spike® solution standard suitable for use in LC/MS or GC/MS testing applications including forensic analysis, urine drug testing, and clinical toxicology. Ecgonine methyl ester is a major urinary metabolite of cocaine, a popular illicit drug well known as "crack" or the free base form of cocaine that can be smoked.

Application


  • Ecgonine methyl ester standard:The site- and species-specific hydrolysis rates of cocaine, demonstrating the importance of Ecgonine methyl ester as a reference standard in understanding cocaine metabolism pathways, aiding in pharmaceutical and forensic applications (Szocs et al., 2017).

  • Mass spectrometry reagent:Sensitive fluorescence probe was developed using molecularly imprinted polymers and Mn-doped ZnS quantum dots for the determination of cocaine and metabolites in urine, highlighting the use of Ecgonine methyl ester as a crucial mass spectrometry reagent for drug testing (Chantada-Vazquez et al., 2016).

  • Cocaine metabolite analysis:Magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers were developed for solid phase extraction of cocaine and metabolites in urine before high-performance liquid chromatography - tandem mass spectrometry, illustrating the essential role of Ecgonine methyl ester in the selective detection and quantification of cocaine metabolites (J Sanchez-Gonzzlez, et al., 2016).

  • Biochemical research chemicals:Porous membrane-protected molecularly imprinted polymer micro-solid-phase extraction method for analyzing urinary cocaine and its metabolites, validating Ecgonine methyl ester′s utility in biochemical and pharmacological studies (Sanchez-Gonzalez et al., 2015).

  • Forensic toxicology supplies:Employed peptides to trap cocaine, using solid phase extraction followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry in plasma samples, underlining the application of Ecgonine methyl ester in forensic toxicology for precise and accurate drug monitoring (Mascini et al., 2013).
