TI  - Surface-activated chemical ionization ion trap mass spectrometry in the analysis 
      of amphetamines in diluted urine samples.
PG  - 1847-55
AB  - A new ionization method, named surface-activated chemical ionization (SACI), was 
      employed for the analysis of five amphetamines (3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine 
      (MDA), 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 
      3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE), amphetamine and methamphetamine) by ion 
      trap mass spectrometry. The results so obtained have been compared with those 
      achieved by using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and 
      electrospray ionization (ESI) using the same instrument, clearly showing that 
      SACI is the most sensitive of the three. The limit of detection and linearity 
      range for SACI were compared with those obtained using APCI and ESI, showing that 
      the new SACI approach provides the best results for both criteria. SACI was used 
      to analyze MDA, MDMA MDE, amphetamine and methamphetamine in four urine samples, 
      and the quantitation results are compared with those achieved using ESI.
