Q

what is the process for SPE

A
  1. condition column = wet for uniform flow
  2. load sample
  3. wash - remove interference
  4. elute - removes interest analyte

19
Q

which sorptive surface is larger, SPME or SPE

A

SPE

20
Q

what samples can be ran for SPE and SPME

A

SPE - liquid

SPME - gas, liquid, semi solid

21
Q

T/F SPME time of exposure is proportional to cencentration of analyte

A

T

22
Q

What analysis is performed on SPME equilibrated samples

A

GC or LC (mass spec)

23
Q

what is a problem with glucuronic acid and drugs

A

glucuronic acid is polar = make drugs more water soluble (renal excretion)

24
Q

how does glucuronide affect liquid chromatography

A

highly polar = cannot be retained during separation = hinders quantitative ability

25
Q

what is an enzyme to hydrolyze glucuronide bonds and what are the disadvantages

A

beta glucuronidase - costly and limited shelf life

26
Q

what factors affect hydrolyiss

A

time
temp
pH
concentration

27
Q

how is chemical hydrolysis done

A

harsh acid or base at high temperatures

28
Q

what is derivatization and what are its benefits

A

chemical modification to produce a new compound that is more volatile, stable, and detectable

29
Q

what molecule does derivatization target

A

replaces an active hydrogen with a functional group

30
Q

examples of silylation (Si) compounds

A

MSTFA and BSTFA

31
Q

T/F Acylation is reactive towards carboxylic acids

A

F

32
Q

What can urine drug tests NOT tell us about (limitations)

A

How much or when the drug was taken

33
Q

What is the quantification and ID methods for novel psychoactive substaces

A

quan = LCQQQMS
ID = LC QTOF MS

34
Q

What is HRMS

A

High res mass spec creates surveillance library = rapid ID to new substances

35
Q

what is a limitation of HRMS

A

increase false pos chances because of similar structures

36
Q

what is considered as a zombie drug (CNS depressant) and what is it made of

A

Tranq-dope (fent+xylazine)

37
Q

what receptor does Tranq-dope affect

A

A2 agonist

38
Q

Does nalaxone work for tranq-dope OD?

A

No - works on fent but not xylaxine

39
Q

What NPS is seen most in USA and Canada

A

USA- tranq dope
Canada - Benzodope (Bromazolam)**

40
Q

what is common in the structure of benzodopes and what is the function

A

Fluorine or bromines - increases exposure and toxiciity

41
Q

What symptom is specific to Benzodope OD and can naloxone fix it

A

Withdrawls create seizures

naloxone does NOT work

42
Q

What is the upcoming extremely potent opiate

A

Nitazenes

43
Q

what symptoms are seen in pFF OD and will naloxone work

A

pinpoint pupils

Naloxone will work

44
Q

What is another name of pink cocaine and why is it claled that

A

tusi - finding 2C-B compound

45
Q

why is pink cocaine dangerous

A

every batch is different = different mix of drugs dyed pink
