说明
分析说明
Cocaine is often found laced with levamisole (one of the tetramisole enantiomers) and aminorex is a metabolite of levamisole known to cause serious vascular damage in drug abusers. These compounds are readily separated using the Astec CYCLOBOND column - a derivatized cyclodextrin column only offered by Supelco. What is really interesting about this separation is that it shows the ability of chiral HPLC columns to separate enantiomers (here, dexamisole and levamisole) by chiral discrimination, as well as non-chiral discrimination in the same analysis. The compounds aminorex and cocaine are not enantiomers of each other or of tetramisole. The highest grade LC-MS solvents were used to supply low background interference and low particulate contaminants for robust, trouble-free operation. Cerilliant CRMs provided reliable identification and quantification.
