TI  - Effect of the shampoo Ultra Clean on drug concentrations in human hair.
PG  - 102-6
AB  - The influence of the special shampoo Ultra Clean (Zydot Unlimited, Tulsa, 
      Oklahoma) on the results of hair analyses was investigated. Hair samples from 
      persons (n = 14) with a known history of drug abuse were collected at autopsy. 
      The hair samples were divided into separate strands which were analyzed both 
      after washing with Ultra Clean and without treatment. Hair analyses were 
      performed by methanol extraction under sonication, purification by solid phase 
      extraction and GC/MS in SIM mode according to routine procedures for 
      tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), cocaine, amphetamine, methylenedioxyamphetamine 
      (MDA), methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methylenedioxyethylamphetamine 
      (MDE), heroin, 6-monoacetylmorphine (6-MAM), morphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine 
      and methadone. All drugs originally present in the hair fibers were still 
      detected after a single application of Ultra Clean. However, a slight decrease in 
      drug concentrations could mostly be observed e.g. cocaine (n = 10) -5%, 6-MAM (n 
      = 12) -9%, morphine (n = 12) -26%, THC (n = 4) -36%. The findings clearly 
      demonstrated that drug substances had not been sufficiently removed from human 
      hair by a single Ultra Clean treatment to drop their concentrations below the 
      limit of detection of the analytical method applied.
