AB  - A simple and inexpensive method for the identification of four substituted 
      amphetamines, namely, 3,4-methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA), methamphetamine 
      (MA), 3,4-methylenedioxy amphetamine (MDA) and 
      3,4-methylenedioxy-N-ethylamphetamine (MDEA) was developed using an in-house 
      constructed semi-automated portable capillary electrophoresis instrument (CE) 
      with capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detection (C(4)D). Arginine 
      10mM adjusted to pH4.5 with acetic acid was found to be the optimal background 
      electrolyte for the CE-C(4)D determination of these compounds. The best detection 
      limits achieved with and without a sample preconcentration process were 10ppb and 
      500ppb, respectively. Substituted amphetamines were found in different seized 
      illicit club drug tablets and urine samples collected from different suspected 
      users. Good agreement between results from CE-C(4)D and those with the 
      confirmation method (GC-MS) was achieved, with correlation coefficients for the 
      two pairs of data of more than 0.99.
