Quantitation of fentanyl in blood and urine using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

Methods Mol Biol. 2010:603:245-52. doi: 10.1007/978-1-60761-459-3_22.

Abstract

Fentanyl is a potent, short-acting synthetic opioid analgesic. Fentanyl is measured in blood and urine following mixed-mode solid phase extraction. The specimens are fortified with deuterated internal standard and a five-point calibration curve is constructed. The final extracts are reconstituted in methanol and analyzed using selected ion monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
