TI  - Amphetamines and 3,4-methylendioxymetamphetamine (MDMA): evaluation of KIMS 
      (kinetic interaction of microparticles in solution) assay at two cut-off levels.
PG  - 543-8
AB  - Two screening methods for the assay of amphetamines and their derivatives have 
      been applied to the same analytical instrument for their evaluation. In addition 
      to an assay at a cut-off of 1000 microg/l, a new specific reagent was evaluated 
      for an ultra-sensitive assay of amphetamines and 3,4-methylendioxymetamphetamine 
      with a cut-off of 300 microg/l. The assay confirmation was performed using 
      high-performance liquid chromatography and gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry 
      techniques. The results were positive for both screening methods, confirming the 
      efficacy of two simultaneous methods with different cut-off levels.
