It is alarming to note that the counterfeit drug trade in both developing and developed countries is on the increase. Facundo M. Fernández from the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA, and colleagues from the USA and Switzerland have been working on a method to determine the real drugs from the fake ones. They have accomplished this through the detection of active pharmaceutical ingredients by coupling laser ablation/desorption electrospray ionization to atmospheric pressure drift tube ion mobility spectrometry.
