Clean Screen DAU Used for Extraction of Propofol from Blood Samples

ByUCT

The article was published in Analyst, 2015,140, 98 (doi: 10.1039/c4an01483a).  The article describes a new membrane coated voltammetric sensor blood monitoring device for the detection of propofol in blood.  For testing and comparison purposes the authors compared device results with results obtained through the extraction of the propofol via mixed mode solid phase extraction (SPE) utilizing UCT’s CLEAN SCREEN DAU columns.  The extraction was then followed by HPLC-UV analysis.  The results favorably compared the continuous monitoring device to the more traditional, off-line HPLC methodology.  The device achieved lower detection limits than the UV detector.  UCT, LLC, a leader in the field of sample preparation and chromatography products, continues to lead the way in supporting scientists and engineers in the clinical toxicology community.  CLEAN SCREEN® DAU is the most widely used and recognized sorbent for the extraction of drugs from biological matrices.

Analysis of umbilical cord samples offers forensic toxicologists a method for evaluating maternal drug intake patterns. These matrices may be an uncommon sample for many laboratories, but for those that are tasked with the challenge, solid phase extraction offers the most efficient methodology for the analysis of said compounds.

In recent paper authored by Amy Alexander et al., in Journal of Analytical Toxicology (doi: 10.1093/jat/bky009), UCT’s flagship sorbent Clean Screen®DAU (CSDAU020) was employed to analyze samples of umbilical cord taken from two monozygotic twins. It was found that the umbilical cord from newborn #1 was positive for hydromorphone only (1.06 ng/g), and the umbilical cord from newborn #2 was positive for hydromorphone (0.81 ng/g) and benzoylecgonine (5.41 ng/g).

Mitragynine is a novel psychoactive substance (NPS) that has emerged as a designer opioid. Also known as kratom , it possesses both stimulant-like and sedative effects due to dual-binding of α-adrenergic and μ-opioid receptors. This herbal remedy is readily available online and can cause adverse effects including tachycardia, agitation, tremors, hallucination and death. In a recent article published in Journal of Analytical Toxicology by Trista H. Wright, UCT’s flagship sorbent, Clean Screen® DAU, was employed to extract the drug from whole blood. The author reports that a suspect in a driving under the influence case admitted to using Mitragynine to a drug recognition expert (DRE) officer.
