PG - 123-130 LID - S0003-2670(16)31104-7 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.aca.2016.09.020 [doi] AB - A solid sensor obtained by embedding 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS) into polydimethylsiloxane/tetraethylortosilicate/silicon dioxide nanoparticles composite has been developed to identify and determine amphetamine (AMP), methamphetamine (MAMP), 3,4-methylenedioxymetamphetamine (MDMA) and 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine (MDA). The analytes are derivatized inside the composite for 10 min to create a colored product which can be then quantified by measuring the diffuse reflectance or the color intensity after processing the digitalized image. Satisfactory limits of detection (0.002-0.005 g mL(-1)) and relative standard deviations (<10%) have been achieved. The proposed kit has been successfully validated and applied to the analysis of amphetamine-like drugs street samples. The kit allows the in-situ screening of the mentioned illicit drugs owing to its simplicity, rapidity and portability, with excellent sensor stability and at a very low-cost.
